Chris Gilliland, "Mr. G."

My name is Chris Gilliland, and I teach 5th Grade Science at Wooden Elementary.  I am available to meet daily from 2:05 - 2:45.  I have been teaching since 2013, and have taught all grade levels at various times.  I am very excited to be teaching in Red Oak ISD.

I am originally from Dallas, and my family and I live in Ovilla.  My wife, Kathy and I have one daughter, Madilynn.  I am a University of Texas graduate, and I enjoy adding to my extensive collection of Longhorns!

I enjoy teaching Science because it connects directly to the world around us that we see everyday.  It makes my day when I hear students say something like, "I knew that this thing happens (for example: a solar eclipse), but now I understand WHY it happens!"  I challenge 5th graders to explain what you see!  Tell me what's happening ...
