“Mr. Dan, Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to make these field trips happen! Our students looked forward to each time you came and were excited to join you! There were so many wonderful and interesting artifacts that even us teachers have never seen so it was great to learn with our students as well.”

“Mr. Dan the Rock Man brings his personal collection of amazing rocks and minerals straight to your school. After a presentation which directly supports the Georgia Performance Standards and Gwinnett County AKS, students are able to touch and explore the collection. This program allows the students to have a tactile experience of a museum worthy collection.”
Many years having Mr. Dan the Rock Man visit doing two field trips each year!

“Dan Schumm has visited our school, Gwin Oaks, for almost 10 years to share his love of rocks, minerals, and fossils. I have booked him multiple times as an expert during our family STEAM Night. During his presentations, he shares his wealth of knowledge about his various specimens with his audience. Afterwards, students get to examine and explore the various items while Mr. Schumm guides them and answers any questions they may have. Students love the presentation and each year it is one of our most popular sessions. We continue to book Mr. Schumm each year because his presentations are engaging, educational, and fun. Mr. Schumm’s presentations are a wonderful extension to the curriculum.”

“Mr. Dan the Rock Man has a collection of fossils which correlate with the 3rd grade curriculum. Even though his collection is valuable, he allows students to explore and touch these rare finds. Students are amazed at the Megalodon shark teeth and mold/cast fossils which fit perfectly together. Don’t hesitate to have Mr. Dan come to your school with his fossil collection. The students LOVE this in-house field trip as his collection rivals anything that students could only look at through glass at a museum.”

“Mr. Dan ROCKS!!!!! Teachers get to enjoy this in-house field trip as much as the students. Mr. Dan the Rock Man takes care of everything. Just provide him a space and some butcher paper, and then enjoy the experience. This is a perfect, inexpensive field trip which comes to your school. You don’t have to worry about ordering buses, sack lunches, or the weather. Students and teachers both reap the benefits of this amazing rock and mineral collection. Perfect to end your rock and mineral unit!”

“Based on numerous presentations with various topics, such as fossils, rocks, minerals, etc., I highly recommend Mr. Dan Schumm as an educational provider. Over the past several years, Mr. Schumm has brought his amazing collections to our school and presented information that increased knowledge and skills regarding fossils, rocks, minerals and soil. Each presentation proved his deep understanding of the topics as he offered engaging lessons and interactive exchanges with our students.
If you are looking for a way to enhance those aforementioned academic knowledge and skills in a memorable way, look no further. Mr. Schumm will provide an exciting time of learning for your students.”
