In the run-up to publication, whenever someone said "but the Fibonacci sequence isn't taught until middle school" I held on to the results of my field tests. Very young students who are learning to read are also learning patterns, counting, and easy addition. My pre-publication audiences were interested, engaged, and they got it. All the post-publication visits keep confirming this, too.<br />Thank you for including a link to Check It Out and the kindergarten Fibonacci poem project. We are all in debt to Gregory Pincus for his Fib Poem; what a wonderful innovation of form. Kids (and adults) love it.<br />Again, thanks.Sarah Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04306229509907096254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-82667589629445653882010-05-31T15:07:48.360-04:002010-05-31T15:07:48.360-04:00How awesome.
