A is for ART: A 5th Grade Quivervision Art Station

Quivervision...it is the best thing to happen to our ART station in the library! I love connecting students' stations in the library to the content in the classroom. I have been using Quivervision for the past 5 years, but this year I noticed they were making changes to their format, so I applied to become a Quivervision Ambassador. This has been a really fun and different experience. I have access to the educational dashboard, coloring sheets, and I am beta testing the app...something I have never done before. I am loving it and so glad I put myself out there and applied!

How do we use this platform? In fifth grade, we study plant and animal cells, so I use this plant cell coloring sheet  and this animal plant cell coloring sheet for our 5th graders. 

What other  materials do we need for this station?  

print encyclopedia with cell diagram (a chance to incorporate reference materials!) 

markers 

colored pencils

coloring sheet (see links above)

iPads 

How does it work? Well, our learners use markers and/or colored pencils to color in the worksheet. Once they are done, they open the Quiver app, press the butterfly icon and then have the app scan their picture until it is turned into augmented reality. Learners will then need time to explore because there will be interactive buttons and teaching tools incorporated for extended learning. 

For the entire lesson plan (and more detailed step by step directions), check it out here on the Quivervision website: Lesson Plan on QUIVERVISION Website.

Here are the library signs that I have for the 5th grade art station: LIBRARY SIGNS.

This is the sign I have posted at my ART table, so the teachers can see how the station relates to their classroom lessons and standards: 

If you would like a copy of the chart to edit, you can make a copy HERE.

Hope you can find a way to incorporate this into your classroom...it really is super fun.
