Teacher Spotlight – Ms. Brenelsa Williams is the third grade reading/language arts teacher at Timpson Elementary School. She has worked in Timpson for the past 20 years. What she enjoys most about teaching is working with the students and helping them learn and grow in their knowledge. 

The excitement students feel when they have been able to master a new skill is a real blessing to Ms. Williams. Ms. Williams strives to not only build reading skills but also wants her students to develop a true love for reading. She has a small library of books in her room so that students will always have access to plenty of books to read. Ms. Williams knows that reading is an essential skill for school success in all subject areas as well as a lifelong skill that students will one day use in their careers as well as bringing enjoyment to their personal lives. 

Ms. Williams encourages her students to try their hardest and to do their best work while at the same time teaching them the skills necessary to reach the goals she sets for them. Ms. Williams is a firm disciplinarian but with her beautiful smile and easy manner students have the opportunity to thrive in a positive learning environment. Her state assessment scores reflect that student are mastering the skills necessary to be successful. We appreciate Ms. Williams for all you do to encourage and support your students.
