Hello, I am one of the Kindergarten teachers here at Mott School. I have been teaching at Mott for over 20 years. I have also taught at Cadwalader School. I have a Masters in Curriculum & Instruction in Reading in Elementary Education. I love teaching all subjects, but I really love teaching how to read and write. When I am not teaching, I love to spend time with my family. I have three daughters. I also enjoy time with my friends, camping, exercising, and going to the beach.

I am one of the Kindergarten Teachers here at Mott. I graduated from Rider University where I obtained my NJ teacher certification in both Preschool-3^rd grade and Kindergarten- 6^th grade. I have been teaching for over 20 years and hope to keep teaching for the next 20! I was born in Trenton, NJ and am currently living with my husband and two daughters in Hamilton. Teaching has always been a passion of mine.  I love watching the students learn and develop right in front of my eyes. I hope to inspire all my students to be lifelong learners!

My name is Ana M. Smith. I grew up in Camden, NJ and Puerto Rico. I am a graduate of Ashford University and I earned a bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. This is my sixth year teaching Spanish and English in the Trenton school district. When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my husband Curtis, our five adult daughters and eight grandchildren. My favorite things to do are traveling, sudoku, and word-search puzzles. My preferred treats are Snickers bar, Lays' classic chips and diet peach Snapple. My favorite holiday is Christmas. The family pets are Yorkie (dog) and Dash (turtle).
