Thank you for the great suggestions! I am sure they will all be attempted here. :-)
Ironically, dear child suddenly caught the bug of writing this "dreaded" poem and I just had to make him stop tweaking it so he could go to bed (late). This NEVER happens. And his math is supposedly done, though I am not 100% sure that is true.
He did forget until the poem was almost done to study the continents for social studies, but as he said, he knew those in kindergarten, so he doesn't need to do much there...
