My name is Danielle Blakely. This will be my 5th year at VPA in First Grade. I graduated from University of Arkansas in Fort Smith in 2005 where I taught Kindergarten my first year and First Grade for the next 7 years. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 4 years and have an amazing stepson and a beautiful baby girl. I love teaching First Grade because children are my passion and I love seeing them learn and grow!
