Grade 1 3rd Quarter Daily Lesson Log (DLL) Compilation SY 2025–2026

Last Updated: October 30, 2025

The first few minutes of a lesson often determine how successfully learning unfolds. Within DepEd’s Grade 1 Quarter 3 Daily Lesson Logs (DLL), this crucial phase corresponds to the “preparatory activities” section which is an essential space for capturing learners’ attention and setting the tone for discipline and participation.

DLL and Engaging Lesson Strategies

A strong start begins with presence. Teachers who greet students warmly and establish calm order before class begins project confidence and respect. The DLL helps teachers plan this by listing short warm-up tasks such as quick recaps, engaging questions or fun but purposeful activities. These are not just icebreakers but they are behavioral anchors that prime students to focus and cooperate.

In the MATATAG Curriculum, lesson openings link to readiness and motivation. Teachers can use the DLL to connect new material with prior lessons, activating background knowledge and curiosity. For instance, a short recall exercise, visual prompt or real-world example encourages learners to think critically from the start.

From a management standpoint, these first moments prevent misbehavior caused by idleness. When every learner is immediately engaged, disruptions decline. Teachers can also use the first minutes to clarify objectives and expectations which reinforces accountability. A structured start becomes a behavioral contract so that students know what to expect and what is expected.

Moreover, beginning smoothly also means emotional readiness. Teachers can use tone, movement and body language to communicate approachability and consistency. The DLL guides this through its “objectives” and “procedure” sections that remind teachers to integrate social-emotional awareness into planning.

A well-prepared introduction does more than organize learning because it humanizes it. When teachers design engaging openings in their daily lesson logs, they build rapport, focus attention and nurture confidence. Those first five minutes, though may be brief embody the teacher’s professionalism and commitment to creating an orderly and meaningful classroom experience.
