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 ...
