From Crayons to Cap & Gown

from Teaching Better Together Hosted by Terry Schmalz and Miranda Bailey

From Crayons to Cap & Gown Everything I Needed to Learn, I Learned in Kindergarten What do high school seniors really remember about their earliest years of school? In this episode, we sit down with Zoe Clingaman and Quinn Seeman to reflect on their memories of kindergarten and elementary school—classrooms filled with crayons, circle time, playground rules, friendships, and first lessons about kindness, curiosity, and resilience. Through laughter, nostalgia, and thoughtful reflection, Zoe and Quinn look back at how those early experiences shaped who they are today as graduating seniors. It’s a reminder that some of the most important lessons don’t come from textbooks—they start on the classroom rug.
