New York
By Angela S., Mr. Gonzalez' Class, Grade 5th

The name of my state is New York. The name of the frontiers are North Lake, Ontario, East Vermont and Massachusetts. The capital is Albany and one of the biggest cities is New York City. When tourists visit my state, I want them to see the New Jersey River.

A product of important agriculture is milk. One of the products of the sea are fish. My state has an area of 49,576 square miles. The population of New York is over 20 million people. The Statue of Liberty is one of the important sculptures in New York. The abbreviation of the state is N.Y. Three facts that everyone should know about my state is that there were 56 governors in New York. Secondly, New York is near the Atlantic Ocean. The Statue of Liberty is in Manhattan.

One fact that I learned about my state is that it has wonderful parks. My state joined the union in July 26. The Statue of Liberty is an important landmark in my state. When I grow up I want to visit the Statue of Liberty in New York. New York is a place where many different people from many different places live.
