The digital edition includes video of the Hurricane Hunters in action, a first-person audio account of a kid's experience during Hurricane Ike, and more. In the digital edition, you will find multimedia on pages 1, 4, 5, and 8. We hope that the digital edition helps bring the news to life in your classroom.
