Welcome to the first edition of the Classical Conversations Blog Carnival here at Homegrown Learners! I've been a bit nervous taking over this task from Brandy at Half-a-Hundred Acre Wood, but the new friends I have made through the carnival and the many wonderful blogs I have read far outweigh any fears or nervousness.

Our journey in Classical Conversations began last year, when my son entered Foundations and my daughter entered Challenge A. Our year was FABULOUS. I cannot speak highly enough of the quality of material my children learned and the caliber of friendships we have made in our community. Our entire family is also thinking much more deeply about education - thanks to the Classical approach to learning.
