An example of poetry for kindergarten is the Jesse Bear books by Nancy White Carlstrom
The books have various themes with little poems on each page. One particular book is How Do You Say It Today, Jesse Bear? ,has a poem for each month of the year. I would show the months of the year to students on a large calendar then recite the poem. Later I would recite the poem and see if the students can tell which month is being described based on their earlier introduction to the poems. I think it would be a fun way for the students to learn the months of the year.

Your "How To" outline is good and has a-lot of detail. The methods you came up with about teaching the kids about the poems and they can be incorporated in the class room is wonderful.
