Welcome!!!! Hello, my name is Carla Salinas. I am from Santiago of Chile. I am a DL teacher with BA degree in Education at Santo Tomas University. I was responsible to open the Spanish Immersion program in Davidson County 5 years ago. This is my first year at Pickett Elementary and I am so excited to work as a Spanish first grade teacher. I am a loving educator, and ongoing learner. I always seek for professional development opportunities towards bilingual education. I love acting, and create activities to engage students into culture around the world. I published my first cultural book in Spanish "Veo, veo Que ves?" on Amazon. I enjoy reading fiction books, traveling, and drawing  I live in Thomasville with my husbund and my three-year-old son.
