• Welcome to HSing!  I'm starting in the fall to HS my DD as well.  It is scary but 
  exciting.  First, find a good support group in your area, they are an invaluable 
  source of info and support and friends for your DC.
  
  You may want to check out: 
  http://www.wholeheart.org/books_wholeHearted_child.asp  You might be 
  able to check out the book from the library.  It explains the Charlotte Mason 
  approach to education and it can be done virtually free.  All you need to do is 
  check out excellent living books, provide a sketch book, journal and paper & 
  pencil for writing/drawing.  Personally, I am going to use KONOS 
  (www.konos.com) not *really* frugal but, one book can provide curriculum 
  for 3 years all age ranges.  There are 3 volumes plus time line characters.  
  You can find KONOS on eBay.
  
  There are sooooooo many resources out there and vendors, maybe you can 
  find when a used curriculum sale is going on and attend it to do nothing else 
  but see what folks use in your area and see if it looks like it works for you. 
  You may be able to talk to other HSers and pick there brains too.  We have 
  another big HS conference coming to Atlanta in July and I am looking forward 
  to it to 
  simply see what is out there resource-wise and to attend the seminars.
  
  The biggest thing to find out is what requirements there are for your state 
  and make sure you are in compliance.  Georgia isn't too bad.  The biggest 
  pain is mailing in monthly attendance sheets.

• You should also be aware of http://babelfish.altavista.com There, you can 
  translate your messages to other languages, or other languages to yours. Like 
  all machine translation, it is far from perfect--but you can often get the sense 
  of what is said either in a message or web page.
