Hello!

My name is Allison “Allie” Blundell. I grew up in Ardmore, Oklahoma where my family currently still resides.  Recently, in May of 2011, I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Human Development and Family Science with an option of Early Childhood Education. I was a student intern at Deer Creek Grove Valley in a Kindergarten classroom for four months. After Grove, I continued my student teaching at Sunset Elementary in Edmond, Oklahoma, for the remaining four months of the school year in a second grade classroom. I gained a wealth of knowledge being in two different school districts and grade levels.

A little note about my philosophy:

First and foremost, I believe that all children deserve the opportunity to learn, succeed, and grow in a positive environment. I value the fact that all children are unique and special individuals that have their own learning styles as well as special talents and gifts that should be recognized and nurtured. I believe that the sole purpose of early childhood education is to positively foster the three developmental domains, which are social/emotional, physical, and cognitive development through the use of engaging activities, lessons, and experiences. As an educator it is important to understand and appreciate childhood as a unique and important part of the human life cycle.

I am so incredibly excited to start my first year of teaching in the Deer Creek School district!
