    Starting to homeschool

    Hello,
    I'm Liz mom to three boys ages 19, 15 and 12.
    We will begin Homeschooling my 12yo this Sept. I'm feeling a bit
    overwhelmed and confused at this time. Not knowing where/how to begin.
    So I'm trying to get us "out there" and build a support system and
    hopefully meet and make friends along the way.

    I'm hoping to find or start a group for children on the older end of
    the age group that seems to be here. Ages 12 and up would be great.

    We live in the Town of Poughkeepsie.

    A bit about my guy:
    He loves technology, a self professed "computer/gaming geek" , lol!! He
    also likes to swim, ride his bike, inline skating and animals
    especially lizards, any kind of amphibian really. Bugs are a favorite
    too. He's taking a course in Video Game Creation at camp this summer
    and is very excited about it.

    About me:
    I love to read. When I have time (which is not very often) I've been
    known to quilt and crossstitch. I volunteer at a few different agencies
    and well as a parent/educational advocate for children/parent
    negotiating the public special education system. I also occasionally
    work as per diem LPN.

    Please feel free to e-mail me with any suggestions, links, good books
    for resources and such.

    Sincerely, Liz
