There's activities students can participate in, as well as the summaries of all the other books. http://www.scholasticatravel.com/2014/02/24/washington-dc-virtual-tour/ In Judy Moody and the Bad Luck Charm, Judy travels to Washington D.C. and visits different historical monuments and museums. This website provides students with a virtual tour of Washington D.C. Writing Activity: Judy describes her lucky charm and the different things that occurred to make her believe her penny was lucky. What is your good luck charm? Provide reasons of why your object/person is lucky to you. Remind students that it doesn't necessarily have to be an object. Maybe when their grandmother, sister, or cousin attends their baseball games they always win. |
