This is one of several colorful holiday bookmarks which can be used as a gift, incentive, or a teaching tool. This one teaches the poem called the tanka, which is an extension of the haiku. Thanksgiving is the holiday. These bookmarks can be purchased separately or all 6 can be purchased together.

I have taught for 36 years at the 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade levels. Fifth grade is my first love. I teach all major subject areas. In addition to my regular classroom duties, I have taught in a Basic Skills summer school program for many years as well as taught workshops to co-workers in whole language and technology. My other duties at school include being "Teacher in Charge" and Student Council advisor.
