All About Mrs. Veal

My name is Sunny Veal.  I have been teaching in Coweta County for 8 years.  I have spent 7 years in first grade and 1 year in third grade.  I received both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Early Childhood Education from The State University of West Georgia.  I have a Reading Endorsement along with my Master's Degree.

 

My family and I built a house in Moreland and have been enjoying country life for almost 2 years now.  My husband, Matt, and I have been married for 7 years.  We have two beautiful, funny and brilliant daughters (a mother's right to brag). Abby is 5 and Amelia Cate is 2.  When I can find the time, I enjoy scrap booking.  The time and effort is well worth it when I can look back and remember the little things that I would other wise forget.

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed my past 8 years of teaching.  Every year I feel like I have learned a great deal more than I have taught.  Each child has so much to teach me and to share with the world.  This is why I enjoy first graders so much.  They aren't afraid to tell you anything (sometimes more than you want to know). But each child teaches me a new way to love, respect, create and teach.  My favorite thing about teaching first grade is the reward of teaching a child to read.  There are no words to describe the feeling of knowing that I had some part in creating a reader for life, that what I have done will stick with them for the rest of their lives.  It really is overwhelming to think of the impact that I can have on each and every child in my classroom.  That is why I spend the beginning of each day asking God to give me the knowledge and patience that I need to make every day full of learning and fun for every child.
