My name is Silvia Calatayud. I’ve been in the classroom since 2005. I currently teach fifth grade GATE students in El Centro, California. I am honored to be the 5th grade lead teacher focusing on language arts. I am passionate about learning and inspiring students to love learning as much as I do. Seeing students transform their thinking warms my heart and keeps me smiling. I’ve been lurking on Twitter for a few years but I am just beginning my journey with connecting with other educators.
