My name is Jill Fandel. I am so excited to be your 5th grade teacher. It is going to be a great year full of new adventures, new discoveries, and new friends! This is my fifth year teaching 5th grade and my fifth year teaching at Washington Middle School I graduated from Illinois State University in December of 2016. I spent the spring of 2017 substitute teaching around the area before I made my new home at Washington Middle School. I grew up in Metamora and still live there today. Aside from being in the classroom, I enjoy reading, running, playing with my nieces and nephews, cleaning, hiking, and spending time with my family. My family includes my husband, Lance, my son, Boyd, and fur baby, Abbie. Also, I think it is important for you to know that if I could have any superpower, I would choose invisibility. I would choose invisibility so that I could sneak into movie theaters and watch all the latest movies!!
