Grinity- That's definitely an idea. I'm also going to call the local community college and see about the possibility of her auditing either a Spanish or ASL class. I'm also going to look into Netflix.

onthegomom- Thank you for all the links! I've c&p'ed them and saved them on our desktop!

ditto on the links! Thank you (double ditto)!

Having a local CC is also a wonderful resource. As she gets older more and more classes will be workable, and if she is auditing, she can sit in on the lectures and you can devise the gradable experiences as her homeschooling teacher.

If you go the route of mentoring her through forming a gifted/secular homeschooling group, please document the process so that you can inspire other isolated homeschooling families to do the same. It is a lot of work for the moms to organize these things on behalf of their children, but if the process itself becomes the curriculum and the child is learning gobs about how to build a community then 'wow!' it's still a lot of work but it becomes so valuable as part of the educational experience.

Best Wishes,
Grinity

Shari- Sent you a pm last week, but I know it's hard to tell with the constantly blinking envelopes!

If your envelope won't stop blinking, drop Mark the Magnificent Moderator a PM, and he'll fix it for you.

Thank you!

Haven't forgot you, working on it......

Sent another PM

Got it Shari, thank you!
