Telling Fibs in Room 17

We read a biography of Fibonacci (B Fib), a mathematician who lived during the 1100s. He developed the Fibonacci sequence, in which 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. Here are some of the students' examples ... feel free to write one of your own in the comments!
