Brightening Classrooms with Confetti: Teacher Appreciation Week Canvas Templates
This Teacher Appreciation Day, we're turning everyday achievements into celebrations with a burst of confetti! Inspired by Canvas LMS's introduction of confetti for on-time student submissions in 2020, we're dedicating this year's festivities to those small yet significant "Confetti Moments" that teachers create every day. To make this week as special as our educators, members of the Instructional Design team, Jackie Stoss and Kate Hoof, developed a collection of confetti-themed homepage templates and assets. These colorful designs are our way of celebrating your daily dedication and the impact you have on your students, one confetti moment at a time.
This home page template includes a red confetti-themed banner, button set, and footer. You’ll see that our team has laid out the buttons for you on this page. Be sure to add appropriate navigation to your buttons for functionality. You can download the entire home page template from Commons, or the individual assets (buttons and banners) to create your own design. While this template is designed for Canvas 4 Elementary, it can also be used in the default Canvas theme by adding the banner to the homepage.
