My
name is Sunny Veal. I have been teaching in Coweta County for 9 years.
I have spent 8 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 3
years now. My husband, Matt and I have been married for 8 years. We
have two beautiful, funny and brilliant daughters (a mother's right to brag).
Abby is 6 and Amelia Cate is 3. Abby will be in first grade this year.
When I can
find the time, I enjoy scrap-booking. The time and effort is worth it when
I can look back and remember the little things that I would otherwise forget.
I have
thoroughly enjoyed my past 9 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 and enough to embarrass parents). 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 each day full of learning and fun for every child.
