I have been planning our new homeschool year, over the past couple of weeks. I am planning on finishing up the 2011-2012 school year, in early May, and then starting the new school year in June. This will enable me to take a month off, in October, when baby is due. I just love the flexibility of homeschooling, for that reason. I want to be able to enjoy every bit of my babymoon, just to savor those fleeting moments of having a newborn baby. While gleaning various homeschooling websites, I have encountered quite a few free, homeschooling resources:

We like some of the same ones you have mentioned, and will add the following:
Vocabulary Fun(http://www.vocabulary.co.il/), Learning Games for Kids (http://www.learninggamesforkids.com/). They are really good.
If you also need a neat health site, Nutrition for Healthy Kids is a blog that has lessons and activities for teaching kids about healthy eating. (http://www.nutritionforhealthykids.com/p/index-of-nutrition-lessons.html).
Joyfully,
