Joe, this has taken me a while because I like to understand something, at least 
a  little bit, before I respond.  I can't quite how this works.

    (,+/ @(_2&{.))^:14(1)
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610

You get an extra term, but I could define your verb.
   
   fibjb=: 13 :'}:(,[:+/ (_2&{.))^:y 1'
   fibjb 14
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377

But I wish I could understand how it works as it looks so simple.

A tree didn't help much: 


  5!:4 <'fibjb'
      ┌─ 3                         
── : ─┴─ ,:'}:(,[:+/ (_2&{.))^:y 1'
   
Dissect seemed to withhold its secrets.  SO it's up to you to help me.'
   
   load 'debug'  
   dissect 'fibjb 14'
 
Thanks in advance.  Linda

This is how I would approach it for young children -- attempting to follow your 
english description

fibJ =: 3 : 0

firstLast =. 1
secondLast =. 0
total =. 1

for_N. i. (y-1) do.

term =. (firstLast + secondLast)
secondLast =. firstLast
firstLast =. term

total =. total,term

end.
total
)
fibJ 15
1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55 89 144 233 377 610

The definition is simpler if you just want the Nth number

fibJ =: 3 : 0

firstLast =. 1
secondLast =. 0

for_N. i. (y-1) do.

term =. (firstLast + secondLast)
secondLast =. firstLast
firstLast =. term
end.
term
)
fibJ 15
610
