School Age Groups
The Friends of the Rawlings Conservatory's Little Leaves
The Little Leaves curriculum is designed to support and supplement the Maryland State Science Standards for the second grade. Students complete Little Leaves with a better understanding of plant life and learn what plants need to survive in different habitats, how to use their senses to observe natural phenomena, and how to visually illustrate their observations through drawing.
School Groups
Our Naturalist Molly Hoopes also leads tours for Home School, Public, and Private school students. To learn more about these unique educational experiences and check for availability, contact Molly directly at:
(410) 396-7839 or [email protected]
