Dear (first name),

We've all heard the saying, "Experience is the best teacher."

And we all agree to it.

Those who took swimming lessons when they were young were taught the
basics -- from using a kickboard, learning how to flutter kick and float on
your stomach to finally mastering freestyle. You were also taught the correct
breathing techniques and received tips on how to overcome your fear of
water. The weeklong lessons weren't easy, but you determined to learn, and
you’re thankful you did.

It's called experiential learning.

We learn faster and help us prepare for real life through this method. It
involves trial and error, so we learn not to be afraid of mistakes but to
accept them as part of the learning process.

Because we learn from reflecting on the experience, we slowly develop


our aptitude and skills. This puts us on a clear path to higher education
and careers. In addition, experiential learning involves doing hands-on
activities that will require us to make decisions, solve problems, and
practice. The result? Our retention is improved and learning is
accelerated.

Not only that, but it also encourages us to get our creative juices flowing
as we look for the best solution to a task that we're working on.

Is this something that you want for your kids? I'll gladly answer any
questions you may have about experiential learning and how we incorporate
it in school.

Here's a meaningful quote before I end this email.

Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve


me and I learn. - Benjamin Franklin
