CURRENT EVENT:

Tune in to today’s Current Event with Ms. Ana.

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

OCTOBER 30, 1961

World’s Largest Nuclear Bomb

The Soviet Union has exploded the world’s biggest bomb so far nearly 4,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. This is the latest in a series of larger and larger bombs the Soviets have been exploding over the last few years. The United Nations is appealing to both the US and the Soviet Union to end the arms race or risk destroying the planet.

IT'S A CELEBRATION:

Candy Corn was created in the 1800’s by George Renniger.  The triangular kernel shaped candy is a big hit for most during the Fall and Halloween. Celebrate National Candy Corn Day by adding it to your snacks.

Try it in your trail mix, popcorn, cereal, or on top of cupcakes.  What an added sweet treat!
