Grades PreK-5: Off to a Great Start While Learning to Love Education
The RVA will create an educational program that will teach your child to love to learn vs. just sending them off and hoping for the best. Below you will find what you can expect from the RVA if your child is at the PreK-5 grade level.
The Home Mentor’s Role
At this stage in your child’s education, your time and care is most needed. You will be responsible for:
Getting your child set up on their supplied Chromebook to join their classmates in Zoom with their teacher if you choose to do live daily instruction
Tracking student’s grades and ability to understand concepts
Communicating with teachers
Driving to meet other students and RVA families at one of our 100+ free events across Wisconsin there to help your students socialize and develop lifelong friendships in the RVA! From trampoline parks to petting zoos, from museums to farms, and more, we have activities that your family will love!
The Curriculum at this Stage
In the earliest stage, the curriculum is focused on building the foundation of a well rounded education with reading, writing and math. Later, broader subjects like science, social studies, technology, art and physical fitness are introduced. Every aspect of the curriculum is focused on teaching your student to LOVE education. Students have a healthy mix of workbooks, lab activities and online tools, like learning games, to engage your young student.
The RVA even offers the option of live daily instruction for all of their classes in a virtual classroom with other students. We may be the only school to offer that full school experience in the state of Wisconsin for all grades!
The RVA Elementary Teacher’s Role
While the home mentor is in the home with the student, your teacher is there to bring all the concepts together and to further motivate the young student. If there are any struggles the teacher will offer new ways of learning that subject or refer your student for evaluation in order to receive additional assistance from our full range of therapists and special education teachers if needed.
