Author: Carmen Lomas Garza used childhood memories to create stories for her book, Family Pictures. Each illustration tells a story. Our class decided the author's purpose was to inform the reader. They wrote a description of a memorable family event. First in quick write, then in a story format, and finally the illustration.We hope you enjoy their memories ~ more to come

Artist: Daniel ~ This picture
is about coming in from herring fishing. My family and I were on the herring
skow’s setting our nets. We were coming in from the rock pile near Sand Dollar
Beach after herring fishing. We tried to make some money by catching herring. Sadie
and I woke up at five in the morning. We slapped our gear on. We walked outside
on the deck and climbed up the ladder. And then we went to the top house with
my dad’s and my papa’s crew.
After awhile
my papa, my dad, Sadie, and I went back out driving in our skiff. We drove all the way
out to the rock pile. When we were done for the fishing season, my dad said,
“We were going to make the little skiff bigger.” My gram Colleen is going to
use my papas’ old skiff for herring
fishing. When we got home we went to sleep.

not on with us.
