Ms. Rogerson's Halloween Opinion Writing Ms. Rogerson's Halloween Opinion Writing

Ms. Rogerson's class has been focusing on opinion writing throughout the last few weeks. The class had the opportunity to take their writing skills and apply them to a fun Halloween-themed writing activity. The students worked to determine if they feel candy corn is the ultimate candy. Together, they researched facts about candy corn, conducted a taste test and then created a poll to find out their classroom results. Check out below to see what the students wanted to share with us!


Ultimate Candy Corn Facts:


Did you know...

  • October 30th, the day before Halloween, is National Candy Corn Day?
  • George Renninger invented candy corn in the 1880s while working for the Wunderle Candy Company. The Goelitz Candy Company (now called Jelly Belly) started producing candy corn in the 1900s and still makes it today.
  • About 9,000 pieces of candy corn are produced each year.
  • In a survey of 1,000 adults, 28% said they love candy corn.
  • Manufacturers now make Reindeer Corn for Christmas, Cupid Corn for Valentine's Day, Bunny Corn for Easter and Freedom Corn for the Fourth of July.
