Travel Day -> DE, PA, NJ & GA
Throughout 2012 we will be exploring each of the states in the order that they entered the union. This month we are learning about Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey & Georgia. After we finish with all 50 states were going to have some sort of contest to test what we have learned this year!
Let's get started...
The 1st four states to enter the union:
1. Delaware is a U.S. state located on the Atlantic Coast in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. It is bordered to the south and west by Maryland, and to the north by Pennsylvania. The state takes its name from Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman.
Admission into statehood: December 7, 1787
Abbreviation: DE
Nickname: "The First State"
Capital: Wilmington

2. Pennsylvania officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is a U.S. state that is located in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, and the Great Lakes Region. The state borders Delaware and Maryland to the south, West Virginia to the southwest, Ohio to the west, New York and Ontario, Canada, to the north, and New Jersey to the east.
Admission into statehood: December 12, 1787
Abbreviation: PA
Capital: Harrisburg
Nickname: "The Keystone State" because of it's geographic location, which was central to the thirteen original colonies, it's importance to the overall colonial economy, and the fact that several important decisions were debated and important documents signed there during the early days of American independence.

3. New Jersey is a state in the Northeastern and Middle Atlantic regions of the United States. It is bordered on the north and east by the state of New York, on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Pennsylvania and on the southwest by Delaware.
Admission into statehood: December 18, 1787
Abbreviation: NJ
Capital: Trenton
Nickname: "The Garden State" was used by Abraham Browning, of Camden. "In his address Mr. Browning compared New Jersey to an immense barrel, filled wihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifth good things to eat and open at both ends, with Pennsylvanians grabbing from one end and the New Yorkers from the other. He called New Jersey the Garden State, and the name has clung to it ever since."

4. Georgia is a state located in the southeastern United States. It was established in 1732, the last of the original Thirteen Colonies. The state is named after King George II of Great Britain.
Admission into statehood: January 2, 1788
