• ¡Hola! Hi! My name is Clara Maya, and I am the 1st grade Dual Language teacher at Ray K. Daily Elementary.  I am Cuban born, but have lived in Houston since 2005. I am the proud mother of two children and have two grandchildren. In HISD, I have worked as a Kindergarten and First Grade Bilingual teacher and last year I became a First Grade Dual Language teacher.  I love education and I have a passion for teaching children and watching them reach their highest potential.  It is a privilege to have the opportunity to serve as your child’s teacher and to be a facilitator of their academic, social and emotional growth.  It is a joy to help children become bilingual people. There is a proverb that says “Start children off in the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” I look forward to working with you and helping your child have a good start this school year and enhance their journey of learning.
