Northeast Southeast Midwest Southwest West

1. The Midwest: Wisconsin The Northeast The Northeast Region of the United States is the oldest region and varies from the largest city (New York City) to the smallest state (Rhode Island). This area is bursting with history and cultural. There are eleven states in the Northeast. Six are known as the New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. The other states are called the Middle Atlantic States: Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The nation’s capital of Washington, D.C. is also a part of the Northeast. • Northeast • Southeast • Midwest • Southwest • West As you know I live in the state of Wisconsin – the best of the fifty states; home of the Green Bay Packers and all things wonderful. Wisconsin is apart of the Midwest Region of the U.S. The United States is divided into five regions.  These regions are the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and the West. New York The Statue of Liberty is a monument that is located on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. The formal name of the statue is "Liberty Enlightening the World." It is woman who has escaped the chains of tyranny (the broken chains lie at her feet). Liberty's right hand holds a torch that symbolizes liberty. The U.S. is broken up into fifty states. Each state has a capital city which is normally one of the biggest, most exciting cities within the state. There are many farms in Wisconsin and rural small towns, but there are big cities as well including our capital, Madison.

2. The Southwest The Southeast Louisiana The southwest is home to the second largest state in the U.S. that being Texas. Texas borders are neighbor to the South, Mexico. The Rio Grand River separates the two countries. Take a look at Louisiana celebrates Mardi Gras which is English translates to “Fat Tuesday”. There are parades and huge carnivals and celebrations for the day before the Lenten Season starts. Texas  Each state also has a state flag. The flag of Texas is pictured above. The colors of the flag; red, white and blue represent bravery, purity and loyalty. In the U.S. each state has a quarter with things that are unique to its state on it. Louisiana’s is pictured to the right. On it there is a pelican, the state bird, as well as a trumpet symbolizing the love of music in Louisiana. The West The west is the home of some of the most beautiful landscape in the country. There are mountains as touching the sky and meadows as far as the eye can see. the United States of America References: http://cg043.k12.sd.us/regions%20of%20the%20US%20webquest/northeast_region.htm http://www.enchantedlearning.com/history/us/monuments/sol/ http://www.punjabigraphics.com/pg/mardi-gras/ http://www.johnston.k12.ia.us/schools/lawson/gradelevellinks/50states/louisiana.html http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ref/abouttx/flagdes.html http://www.desktopscenes.com/Scenes%20from%20Yellowstone%20(2003)/slides/Morning%20Glory%20Pool.html http://downloadsoftwarestore.com/software/keyword/5906 http://library.thinkquest.org/4552/ http://www.myonlinemaps.com/wisconsin.php http://www.timpahs.com/exhibitions.html http://www.seedol.com/blog/2011/01/10/green-bay-packers-wins-over-philadelphia-eagles/ Yellowstone National Park is located in the state of Wyoming.
