Hi Everyone, this is my 28th year of teaching and my fifth at Luling Elementary.  I assist students in grades K, 1 and 2 with reading and writing strategies.  I love my job at Luling Elementary.  I am also the cosponsor of the Loving Every Second (LES) Running Club.  

Update: 5/10/2020 Hi Everyone, We are on our last week of online distance learning.  Please, please complete all of your classroom teachers assignments and submit them to your classroom teacher.  Also, everyone has an assigned one on one time with me and your classroom teacher.  Please attend these meet ups so we can read with you.  I miss all of you and look forward to seeing you this week online.  Please look at the video from Ms. Simpkins on safety.  Love ya'll!    Ms. DanaMs. Simpkins Safety tips
