Hello! My name is Yvana Prado and I am originally from Lima, Perú. I've been a part of the education system since 1999, as a teacher assistant, a substitute, and a classroom teacher. My passion for teaching is definitely more of a calling than a career – it is something I absolutely love to do. My first 3 years of teaching were here at Smith Elementary, from 2007-2010, teaching 3rd grade. In 2010 I went to Greenlee Elementary to teach 5th grade, and when my daughter was born I took a short break from full time work to stay at home with her and my youngest son. My daughter is now 13 years old and my boy is 11, both ex-Smith students. I’ve been back at Smith teaching third grade for 7 years now.
When I am at home I love watching movies with my husband, cooking, eating together as a family, taking long walks with the kids, and visiting nearby towns (our favorite so far is Golden!)
I am very glad to be a part of team Smith!
