We study the sequence of rotations of the unit circle by angles of quotients of adjacent Fibonacci numbers. An equivalence relation is placed on the unit circle that converts it into an interval in the real line. On this interval, each Fibonacci quotient rotation forms a real, quadratic, one dimensional dynamical system. We give an inductive construction for the kneading invariants of this sequence of dynamical systems.
