Robin Harris
5th Grade Team
Hello Wildcats! I am Mrs. Harris, and I am excited to be teaching 5th Grade at MAC again this year! I strive to help my students reach their full potential to become life-long learners through inquiry-based lessons in Social Studies and Writing. I am looking forward to a great year!
- I graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Elementary Education.
- I am certified to educate students in grades 1-6 and have my ESOL and Reading Endorsements. I also earned the Civics Seal of Excellence for educators!
- I am teaching 5th grade Social Studies and Writing this school year.
- This is my thirty-first year teaching and my twenty-second year as a McKeel teacher.

Digital Citizenship & Goals
Students will learn how to become positive Digital Citizens this year! They will learn the importance of using technology properly, expectations of using iPads in the classroom, how to be responsible with technology, and how to use digital information fairly. These skills will be taught in the homeroom classrooms at the beginning of the year, and continued throughout the year as needed.
