Story of Manabush

There once was an old woman called Nokomis (Grandmother) who had an unmarried daughter. The daughter gave birth to twin boys and during the birth, one of the boys died and so did the mother. Nokomis wrapped the surviving boy in soft grass and laid him on the ground at one side of her wigwam and placed a wooden bowl over him to protect him. She buried her daughter and the other grandchild a ways from her wigwam.

Dark Wonder
Abbey Cameranesi, Grade 5, Grafton Elementary School
Teacher: Mary Beth Wild

Space is beautiful.
With glowing stars.
Rocks flow by
Like fireflies in the night.

We are stargazers.
As we watch,
We stare. We
See something up there.

Everything is different,
Than how it is on Earth,
As it is in space.
