Description:

I built this board for an assignment within my physical education studies at Brockport College. We were assigned a movement concept or skill theme and had to create an interactive board to showcase within the school. I was given rolling and decided to have fun with the idea and include the "Things" from Cat in the Hat as my theme since they are always moving around in different ways. I came up with the slogan while keeping to the rhyming ideas of Dr. Suess with "Thing 1,2,3 & 4 how many ways can they roll on the floor". The "Things", are attached to either a pipe cleaner, pipe cleaner and wooden dowel, or a fidget spinner so they could be moved, or rolled, in a certain way by students or other individuals interested in the bulletin board. The "Things" can either move like in a log roll, egg roll,forward or backward roll. The purpose of this board was to catch the eyes of mostly elementary, or possibly older, students with not only the favorite Cat and the Hat and "Things" but also the interactive aspect of the board. The board is meant to grab the attention of the students so they have more interest in learning about gymnastics and rolling within their physical education classes.
