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
Monitoring student’s grades
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 and Instruction at this Stage
In the earliest stage, the curriculum and instruction 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 and instruction is focused on teaching your student to LOVE education. Students have a healthy mix of workbooks, lab activities, online tools, and classes to engage your young student.
The RVA Elementary Teacher’s Role
While the home mentor is in the home with the student, your teacher is there to plan instruction, diagnose your student’s learning needs, prescribe content delivery through class activities, assess learning, report learning outcomes to parents and administrators, and evaluate the effects of instruction. If there are any struggles the teacher will provide new ways of learning that subject or refer your student for evaluation in order to receive additional assistance from our full range academic interventionists, therapists and special education teachers if needed.
