I Love Labels!

One of the amaaaaazing teachers at my school ( The Reading Corner ) suggested using Powerpoint to create visuals, handouts and posters instead of Word because you can move things and format so much easier! I LOVE IT!  Below is my take on Music "Mooves" Me! You can actually buy posters for a Music Moves Me bulletin board from  Music Bulletin Boards  if you prefer.
