Kris Girl Ramos, a teacher from Upper Tambler Central Elementary School, drew accolades for her Nordic classroom makeover aesthetic setup, having a similar appearance to coffee shops.

Ramos said Friday, Aug. 26, the beautification of her classroom started during the first day of Brigada Eskwela that took over two weeks to finish, with the help of her students’ parents.

“The parents of our pupils helped me on this,” she said.

Photos of Ramos’ revamped classroom quickly went viral after being reposted by the DepEd (Department of Education) Tayo Gensan page with over 30,000 followers.

The classroom contains a mini-library, furniture, a photo booth, and other modern objects for her students to use.

According to Ramos, the idea of redesigning her classroom was a result of seeing students share posts about aesthetic rooms on social media.

The teacher said she never expected her classroom setup to become viral, as “it was only for the sake of making her students happy.”

Ramos was able to buy new equipment for her classroom after saving money through live selling before classes even started.

She previously went viral after creating a photo booth in her classroom to surprise her students who went back to school for face-to-face classes.

Ramos has been teaching for six years and is currently the adviser of Grade 6 pupils in the school.
