Fourth Grade Teachers
401, Ms. Silvestri
My name is Ms. Silvestri and I'm so happy to be teaching 4th Grade Literacy again this year! I received my master's in education from St. John's University, specializing in both Childhood Education and English as a Second Language. I have been a teacher in the Department of Education for 5 years. In my free time, I like to cook and watch movies. I love spending time with my family and friends and dog, Brandy.

Since a young age I always wanted to become a teacher. I fulfilled my dream after attending Hunter College. I have been a teacher at P.S. 120 for over 30 years. I live on Long Island with my husband and have a wonderful life together enjoying time with our children and granddaughters.

I grew up in West Hempstead (Long Island). I now live in Queens, and love it here. I have worked for the Dept of Ed for over 20 years, teaching grades K-5. Since 2011, I have been at P.S.120Q. During free time, I exercise and travel.

As a proud graduate of PS120, I am so excited to be back at the school that sparked my joy for learning! I started my teaching journey as a private school teacher in the city. After graduating with my Masters from Hunter College, I’ve finally made my way back to Queens, a community that I deeply love. On the weekends, I love spending time with my puppy Shadow, the Shiba. I also love nature walks, and weightlifting at the gym!
