You will see more state songs have been posted to ClassBrain. Most of the state song pages have the lyrics, as well as an audio file so that you can hear the melody. Amazingly some of the states have three or four official state songs of varying types! Nora Kirkeby has been scrambling to track them all down for you, and she's doing a great job. As an example, we've linked you to one of Oklahoma's many state songs below.

In each state section under States Bordering... you will now find a new map showing the bordering states. These are available for all 50 states.

We have also created new maps stores for all of the states with the help of maps.com. All of the states have digital maps stores up, and we're now working on stores that feature wall maps, atlases, and travel maps.

Finally, we also added some new products maps. (Yes, we know these are like gold.) These are some of the most difficult maps to find and/or create. We'll continue to seek them out for you, so if your state doesn't have one yet, hang in there, we're still working on finding them.

We've been adding pages on the natural resources of some of the states. We're finding materials on animals, plants, water, soil, parks, and more. Stay tuned for more of these.

There are other surprises sprinkled throughout our State Reports Section so look around and see what you find.

Finally, we've added a new category in State Reports for US Territories, including American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Although these areas have not yet gained the status of statehood, we've decided to include them, since every state was a territory prior to being admitted to the union.
