Overview of Grade 2 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar
The Grade 2 Quarter 3 Week 1 Lesson Exemplar under the MATATAG Curriculum presents a well-balanced set of lessons that develop literacy, numeracy and character formation. The week’s central theme revolves around community life, communication and real-life applications of knowledge across subject areas. Through contextualized learning, pupils connect academic skills with daily experiences whether identifying community helpers in English, understanding types of livelihood in Makabansa or interpreting pictographs in Mathematics. This week’s exemplar supports the MATATAG Curriculum’s goal of strengthening foundational education by promoting functional literacy, socio-emotional growth and values integration.
Grade 2 Quarter 3 Week 1 Key Learning Areas and Focus
By the end of Week 1, Grade 2 pupils are expected to demonstrate mastery of essential skills in language, numeracy and values formation. Each subject in this week’s exemplar features interconnected topics anchored on the theme of community and productivity. Learners will:
In English, identify and read high-frequency and CVCe-pattern words, recognize rhyming words and use polite expressions in everyday communication. English lessons highlight the chant “People in My Community” and the story “Helping Hands in My Community” to teach rhymes, word patterns and kindness through polite language.
In Filipino, determine words with diptonggo and klaster, identify syllable structures and use high-frequency words related to self and community. Filipino focuses on rhythm, pronunciation and vocabulary using poems like “Ang Aking Komunidad” and “Halina’t Magpiknik” to strengthen reading fluency.
In Mathematics, collect, present and interpret data in tables and pictographs with appropriate scales. In Mathematics, pupils explore data representation using pictographs about favorite vegetables and colors, linking numeracy with real-life observation.
In Makabansa, explain types of livelihoods such as agricultural and industrial work and demonstrate movements that represent agricultural labor. Makabansa lessons guide learners in understanding the dignity of work through farming activities and discussions on agricultural products.
In GMRC, appreciate the value of helping and cooperating in the community through story-based moral lessons. GMRC emphasizes respect, gratitude and cooperation within families and schools. These cross-curricular connections promote critical thinking while strengthening social awareness and moral values.
These objectives align with DepEd’s goal to build not only cognitive understanding but also responsible citizenship among young learners.
Instructional Flow and Lesson Design Framework
This week follows a structured yet engaging approach. Each lesson begins with panimulang gawain or motivation through songs, chants or warm-up games that activate prior knowledge.
- Teachers introduce new concepts through interactive demonstrations such as rhyming games in English,
- syllable clapping in Filipino and
- pictograph construction in Mathematics.
- Learners engage in guided reading, peer sharing and kinesthetic activities like “Lights, Camera, Action!” in Makabansa to relate lessons to real experiences.
- Story-based discussions encourage reflection and communication while formative strategies such as group tasks and oral drills support mastery.
- The use of cooperative activities fosters confidence and strengthens the sense of community within the classroom.
