Fibonacci Links to explore:
Numbers In Nature reveals the secrets of the Fibonacci sequence in an exhibit from the Annenberg/CPB video, Renaissance.
Dr. Ron Knott's website on Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section in Nature is a great place to explore the Fibonacci sequence. His site allows you to see many of the ideas we are discussing this year.
Clouds
by Savannah Ormsby
Purple is as lonely as a gorgeous cloud;
red and blue sunsets streak across evening skies,
as purple clouds softly billow in cool breezes.
Purple, the last color of the rainbow,
always stands alone...
floating through slowly-darkening skies, hearing
angels whisper to themselves,
"Purple is a cold color with a lonely feel; it's all alone
at the end of the rainbow."
The Best Day Ever
by Hallie Tucker
Snow falls heavily,
every snowflake different. "Yipee,"
yell kids sliding down a steep fast mountain.
Mothers cry, "be careful." A sudden
blizzard freezes kids inside; the tea whistle blows.
Dad says, "Time for dinner."
Bright Neon
by Matt Grernrood
Yellow is as excited as a bright basketball during a game:
eye-popping color fast, and flashing like lightning,
blazing down the court, soaring through swift air to
make the final shot to win the championship.
Vivienne's Coins
by Ben Crogh
Vivienne has silver coins her grandpa made for holidays and
birthdays. She has about thirty of them. The coins are engraved with
different pictures and she enjoys looking at them. "They are really
valuable," she says. The coins do not have any monetary value, but since the coins are made of silver, they are worth something. Vivienne's special coins have not been touched by a human finger except for one. Vivienne says, "One of them isn't [untouched] because I broke the plastic."
