Hooray for progress!

Another suggestion: When you get a chance read through some of the archives on this forum.

You will see that the perceived isolation aspect of homeschooling can be dealt with in many ways.

brownies and other clubs
classes
church/religious groups
homescholing groups etc.

for your daughter's well being - true peers as friends will be the most valuable.. in other words friends that share interests and developmental levels over just agemates. (or in addition to if you feel she might be bonding with some of the other first graders)
