<strong>The Teacher:</strong>  My name is Elaina Rosa and I am in my second year of teaching first grade at Ray School.  I very much enjoy teaching and love to share my other passions with my class - especially my love for all things art and animal related!

<strong>Qualifications:</strong>  I am certified by the Illinois Board of Education and hold a B.A. in Liberal Arts as well as a Master's in Teaching.  Before coming to Ray, I completed 200+ hrs. worth of clinical observations at a variety of schools in and around Chicago, Il. and served for 16 weeks as a Student Teacher in kindergarten at Oriole Park Elementary, one of the city's top elementary schools.
