Telling Fibs

Fibonacci, a mathematician who lived during the 1200s, developed a number sequence named after him. Each number is added to the previous number to get the next number: 0 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 and so on.

Author Greg Pincus invented the “Fib” form of poetry, in which each consecutive line has the same number of syllables that appear in the Fibonacci sequence. During Poetry Week, students could choose to write a Fib. Here are some of their creations:

Down!

Set!

Hike ball!

The ball is snapped up.

Give it to the running back now.

Boom, pow, trucking left and right, me taking hits all night.

I hear them cheering in the stands, "Run Bubba," "Go boy Go," "Get 'em get 'em, all the way!"

spin, catch,

dance - Woo hoo!
