I’m excited to introduce you to my dear friends at Fossilicious! Founders Claudia and Doug are long time Montessorians with a passion for the Cosmic Curriculum. Their work is particularly aligned with the Elementary Cosmic Curriculum.
Fossilicious was started in 2005 to promote Discovery, Wonder and Inspiration for the history of our beautiful planet. Founded by Doug and Claudia Mann, both long time Montessorians that I met back in the 1980’s, fossilicious is committed to making the study of Cosmic Education (and Big History as it’s known in other circles) easy and fun.
At fossilicious, you’ll find easy-to-read books on each of the geologic eras and periods. Reviewed by paleontologist, Mark Palatas, “You could use these books to teach a geology 101 college course!” The information is accurate AND accessible to young children who’ve just finished their first and second Great Lessons!
This makes them great resources for students ages 6 through adult. Add the curriculum e-books and you’ll have everything you need to make Cosmic Education the centerpiece of your inspired classroom.
Doug and Claudia work with miners and rock-hounds they’ve known for nearly 20 years, to bring you fossil, rock and mineral specimens for your classroom or personal collecting at prices friendly to a teacher’s budget.
