Fallacy Detective and Thinking Toolbox
These are both by the Bluedorns and are excellent for teaching how to spot faulty logic. We do them together as a read aloud, and my younger children and have learned so much.
These are not puzzles...

I think she'd do very well in LC1...
Considering how much exposure she's had to Latin already.
PL is basically the same vocab as she will encounter in LC1 (with more words added), but there is more grammar, which is sounds like she...

This is not a correction, but a suggestion when it gets revised.
We are just on Lesson 11 of LC2, and my children were trying to do the accompanying Ludere Latine 2 puzzle on pp 58-59. I say...

Have you tried Ludere Latine 2?
I agree that it would be nice to have more exercises to go with LC2, but I find when my children use the Ludere (Games) alongside, they really learn alot and retain much more. They are called Games,...

LC2 is much harder than LC 1!
We were amazed at how much more challenging LC2 is. We are taking LC2 much, much slower (probably over 2 years) than we did LC1.
I already bought the Henle book to do in the next few years , and...

Yes, I know
I know that Ludere 2 corresponds to LC 2, but we are still in the early chapters which are only reviews of LC1. We haven't even gotten to the new material yet.

Yes, that does help.

Take a deep breath, it will be okay
First of all, welcome to homeschooling. In no way have you "screwed up" your children's educations, in fact, you are doing the best thing possible by homeschooling.
Abeka and Classical are both...

The songs are listed in LC1
That doesn't help you much, I know, unless you have different children doing both levels (that's what I had last year).
Maybe they can be included in Prima when it's revised, or it could be linked...

I thought it might be "vir", just knowing it from my own Latin study years ago, but we can't find "vir" anywhere in LC 1.

This is just my opinion, obviously, that the book is too...

Any Art History Plans for MP?
I would love MP to come out with a God-honoring Art History Curriculum. It is so hard to find a book that is wholesome for the whole family. I'm sure many others would be interested in this.
