Salamanca City Central School District

Day 1 of Harry Potter STEAM-Adventure Camp. During this camp, students will read excerpts from the Harry Potter books, while they explore adventure, magic, and musical theory.

Today is the first day of Salamanca High School’s Project SAMI, STEAM Camp. In the morning, enrolled Project SAMI students worked on their college academy schoolwork in Drone Inspections, Engineering Technology or Sustainable Land Management. Meanwhile, prospective SAMI students learned about regional career opportunities through our Discovery Career Modules, which are occupational lessons in Biomedical Technology, Sustainable Farming & Advanced Manufacturing. During the afternoon, SAMI students visit local universities, utility plants and farm operations to learn about the careers they are studying through hand’s on activities, facilitated by local experts of the field. For example, on Tuesday our students traveled to Saint Bonaventure University’s BioMedical Training Center, where they examined an interactive 3D model of a “kadabra” human, which is used to train the next generation of surgeons and physician assistants. Afterwards, they worked with a local physician assistant instructor to take the pulse of a “living and breathing” programmable automaton, also used to train medical professionals on procedure and rhetoric. One of our SAMI electrical engineering students asked to look under the hood of the automaton and enjoyed identifying the various electrical components used to generate features such a realistic pulse or breathing.

This week in Mrs. Middaugh’s and Mrs. Mahany’s Computer Learning and Social Skills class, students learned how to use Book Creator. The students had already created Christmas lists in Word, listing 12 things they wanted Santa to bring them. They added bulleted lists and pictures along with a background for this step of their project. This week, Mrs. Schnaufer came in and assisted in teaching the students to make books using the program Book Creator. For this part of their project, the students created a book cover and a page for each item on their list. Each page had text and a picture, a shape and a voice recording on it. The prompt was “On the first day of Christmas, I would like Santa to bring to me…” They did 12 pages in their book, one for each of the 12 days of Christmas. The students really are enjoying building this project and were truly excited when they we able to add their voices to the book!

Students in Mrs. Phillips-Moores created a Closed Planet System - sealed terrarium, class each received a Gatorade bottle that was cut in two. St Bonaventure student intern put a small amount of charcoal and gravel in the bottom of the bottles. Then the students needed to find a small plant that would fit into their bottles. Once they found their plant, they added soil and water, along with their plant, into their bottle. Our student intern taped the bottled together to seal them up. They placed their closed systems in the classroom windows and will be making observation over about a 3-week period. We have already saw some growth with the roots of the plants.

Our UPK classes had a great time seeing the fire truck brought over by one of the Salamanca firefighters!!! 🤗 Thank you so much for coming for fire safety week and to the City Of Salamanca Fire Dept.
