Mrs. Darin's 7th Grade Class

​      Welcome! My name is Mrs. Darin, and I am the 7th grade homeroom teacher and the 6-7-8 English teacher.  I graduated from Grand Valley State University where I majored in English/Language Arts and minored in Elementary Education. I have been teaching for 9 years (8 of those years have been here at St. Joseph School)! My husband Nick and I met in high school and have been married since 2012. We have 2 children--Enzo is 3-years-old and is in the Pre-School-3 class here, and Leo will turn one-year-old in March.  Our family also includes two rather large felines, Alvin and Zorro. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy crafting, home improvement projects, searching for treasures at flea markets, and pretending to be a superhero with my kids.

After learning about the events of Pentecost (and how the disciples were able to speak
in different tongues once the Holy Spirit came), we completed a project where we
​listed how to write the word peace in several different languages. 

We made acrostic poems based on what we know and learned about Apostles.

Seventh grade students working with their first grade buddies.

                 Seventh graders discussed that in Scripture,                                 Jesus is not always referred to as simply 'Jesus'.                   These projects show just some of the many titles for Him.
