Overview of Grade 1 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar
The Grade 1 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar under the MATATAG Curriculum begins the third quarter with lessons that build awareness of one’s community and strengthen foundational academic skills. This week centers on understanding home, school and community while nurturing communication, literacy, numeracy and good manners. Each subject area—Language, Reading and Literacy, Mathematics, GMRC and Makabansa integrates value formation and real-life application to support Grade 1 learning. Through contextual lessons, pupils develop early literacy and numeracy skills while appreciating cooperation, responsibility and respect for others.
Grade 1 Quarter 3 Week 1 Key Learning Areas and Focus
By the end of the week, learners are expected to:
- Language and Reading: Recognize and use vocabulary related to community, identify naming and describing words, decode high-frequency words and retell short stories such as “Didi’s Colorful Treasure” and “Billy to the Rescue.” Lessons emphasize decoding, vocabulary enrichment and story comprehension through bilingual stories that highlight helpfulness and cooperation.
- Mathematics: Collect, organize and represent data through simple tables and pictographs, interpreting information visually. Mathematics introduces data gathering and pictographs using familiar contexts such as favorite fruits or colors to promote analytical thinking.
- GMRC: Demonstrate politeness in words and actions by saying “po” and “opo”, listening courteously and responding respectfully. Focuses on paggalang (respect) as a moral foundation through songs, role-playing, and storytelling.
- Makabansa: Identify parts of the school and their importance, describe daily school activities and create simple drawings showing pride in one’s learning environment. Develops school awareness by exploring the parts of the school and their uses, linking civic understanding with appreciation for community helpers.
Across all subjects learners practice expressing ideas clearly, showing respect to others and connecting learning to their everyday lives.
Instructional Flow and Lesson Design Framework
Each day follows a structured flow:
- Activating Prior Knowledge – Teachers begin with guided questions and visual prompts to recall previous learning.
- Lesson Introduction – Objectives are shared in simple, child-friendly language to set purpose and direction.
- Language Practice and Guided Reading – Pupils learn new words, read short texts, and answer comprehension questions about feelings, sequence, and community values.
- Hands-on Activities – Learners collect simple data, match pictures, classify words, or perform cooperative tasks.
- GMRC and Makabansa Integration – Singing, drawing, and storytelling are used to illustrate respect, cooperation, and love for school.
- Consolidation and Evaluation – The class reviews key ideas through short oral drills, formative checks, and reflective sharing.
- This approach encourages active participation and reinforces understanding through guided practice and collaboration.
