I've always done a lot of thematic instruction, and choose poetry that fits in with whatever theme. When in a regular classroom, I did a poem every Monday, used it for phonics and phonemic awareness along with content and poetry appreciation. My favorite poetry book is The Random House Book of Poetry for Children. Lots came from there. :-)
