Welcome to Mrs. Wayman's Math Support and Resources!
If kids can't learn the way I teach, I must teach the way they learn!

About Mrs. Wayman, our Math Specialist

My family and me: Earl and I have been married for 38 years! We have three wonderful daughters and five grandchildren!

Gina, our oldest is a teacher in the Lake Washington School District. She teaches second grade. She and her husband Dan have three children; Tyler, Maya and Jonathon. They live just a couple miles from us in Redmond and we love seeing them as often as we can!

Natalie lives in Olympia with her husband, Darrin and two children Jackson and Isabella. Natalie is an RN at Children's Hospital in Seattle. Although we do not see them as often as we do Gina and her family, we cherish every moment we see them!

Brigitte, our youngest is a graduate of Seattle Pacific University. She has done lots of traveling and now lives in Seattle. We anticipate she will move to Los Angeles, CA soon. We are sad about that but understand she has to explore options and locations before she decides what she will do now that she is done with school.

We are very blessed with our family!

My work at Discovery: This is my 5th year at Discovery Elementary. The first three years here, I taught 5th grade. Last year, I became a math specialist for our building. In that role, I have a variety of responsibilities. I work with small groups of students, manage and track math data from building wide assessments as well as coach teachers. I love my job! Although I've been teaching for 31 years now, I still feel like I learn new things every day!

My interests/hobbies: My spare time is used seeing my grandchildren and children, reading, as well as working as an Educational Consultant. The name of my company is "Kids First." For me, that says it all!

What I want people to remember me for: I would love to be remembered for truly caring about my students and our entire school community.

What makes Discovery special? I worried about changing school districts and coming to Discovery. I had been in my previous district for 17 years. I never dreamt I would love it here like I do! I love that our staff comes from all walks of life and together, we cherish diversity! Our community cares about their school, their staff, and their students! As a professional, I am encouraged to grow and explore new opportunities!
