Greetings, students and families! My name is Mr. Williams, and I am the fifth grade writing teacher. I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in journalism, and I hold a master's degree in elementary education. I have been teaching at White Station Elementary since 2018 and have taught fifth grade ever year except for my first year. One of my favorite things about teaching at WSE is the diversity of our students. I have proudly taught students from Venezuela, Guatemala, El Salvador, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Lithuania, Pakistan, India, Egypt, Senegal, Israel, Iraq, and I'm sure many others. I have learned so much from my students. Furthermore, fifth grade is without a doubt my favorite grade to teach. Students are now learning how to be more responsible and independent, and I enjoy helping to facilitate and guide students through this "growing up" phase before they head off to middle school. I genuinely love what I do, and I look forward to the start of each new school day.
