Homeschooling Maya...our journey

OK - I really think, with the uncertainty in my job situation, and the stress she's been under at school, that Homeschool Maya next year is the right thing to do. So, I have about 6 months to prepare...first for the summer, where I will be working with both girls, and then for full time school for Maya starting in August. Hopefully this will be a good place to keep track of ideas, links, etc. I think my FIRST step should be doing reseach about how to be successful, how to approach things, and how to make it enjoyable. The rest should fall into place after that. I have a book at home called "The First Year of Homeschooling Your Child: Your Complete Guide to Getting Off to the Right Start" ( http://www.amazon.com/First-Year-Homeschooling-Your-Child/dp/0761527885/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1262181416&sr=8-1 ) - I guess I should start our journey there... ;)
