Thinking & Talking Activity

 
 

Carmen Lomas Garza is an artist who lives in San Francisco. Her book "En Mi Familia" is full of memories of her childhood in Texas. In this picture, she shares her favorite way to celebrate the weekend.

 
 


Now it's your turn to learn about your own family's dancing memories. Talk to your parents, your grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

What dances did your parents do when they were your age? What about your grandparents? Write them down on your family tree. The next time you get together, ask the people in your family to teach you some of the dances on the tree.

When you are finished, you can write a story and draw a picture here of your family dancing, like Carmen Lomas Garza's.
