As part of the ongoing implementation, Grade 4 is now fully geared up for the streamlined competencies of the Matatag Curriculum. To support your preparation, we offer ready-to-use Daily Lesson Logs (DLL). We understand how challenging it is to create your DLL from scratch, especially during the planning stage, when you need to design the best classroom activities that meet the target competencies of the newly revised K to 10 program, also known as the Matatag Curriculum. On this page, you’ll find our updated Matatag Grade 4 Daily Lesson Log (DLL) for Quarter 2 of School Year 2025-2026.
These free and editable DLLs will help you deliver quality, competency-based, and responsive classroom instruction. Whether you’re handling English, Math, Filipino, GMRC, or other regular subjects, you can use these Daily Lesson Logs. Most importantly, you can revise our DLLs to fit your personal style and professional preferences. Therefore, it’s important to understand the basic information about the Daily Lesson Log.
The Daily Lesson Log is a standardized template used by teachers in the Philippines to plan and organize their daily classroom instruction. In this DLL for Quarter 2 of Grade 4, teachers can plan their classroom activities for each part of the lesson based on the Matatag Curriculum. Usually, the standardized DLL template consists of establishing the purpose of the lesson, developing understanding, generating responses, and other parts that were also present in previous formats. Therefore, the Daily Lesson Log helps teachers plan lessons effectively, ensuring activities are competency-based. Also, it supports diverse learning to accommodate different types of learners. It also promotes consistency in teaching practices, allows for better time management, and serves as a tool for monitoring and evaluation.
What is the Matatag Curriculum for Grade 4?
The Matatag Curriculum for Grade 4 is primarily designed as a transition stage from foundational learning skills to more comprehensive classroom instruction. Therefore, this revised curriculum aims to enhance the quality and relevance of learning from Kindergarten to Grade 10. It seeks to address the challenges of the previous K-12 program by decongesting content and focusing on essential competencies. Additionally, it prioritizes the early development of foundational learning skills, such as reading and numeracy.
The Matatag Curriculum framework places Grade 4 at one of the most important stages of learning development. It considers the competencies of Grade 4 to be interrelated with those of previous grade levels. At this stage, learners focus on critical thinking and social education. You must integrate the principles and elements of the Matatag Curriculum that compose the Grade 4 expected learning targets well into your DLL for Quarter 2. You should choose the best classroom activities and write their objectives and processes in your Daily Lesson Logs.
Outline of Grade 4 Competencies in Matatag Curriculum
In the Matatag Curriculum, Grade 4 marks a significant transition in a learner’s academic journey. Learners will start to explore additional learning areas such as MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health) and EPP. At this grade level, they will also be exposed to more complex competencies in Mathematics, Filipino, Science, and English. In total, Grade 4 covers eight learning areas. The competencies in these subjects have been revitalized to focus on more achievable and essential lessons. While we cannot enumerate all the competencies for every learning area, you can review the subjects’ content and performance standards for Quarter 2 to gain insights into the content of our DLL.
Learning Standards for Grade 4 in Quarter 2
| Learning Area | Content Standards | Performance Standards |
|---|---|---|
| Filipino | Learners demonstrate basic and critical literacy skills in Filipino. They develop macro skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) in various contexts and incorporate visual elements to create multimedia texts appropriate to age, culture, and purpose. | By the end of Grade 4 Quarter 2, learners communicate using correct grammar and appropriate language to express ideas and emotions, and interpret community and national issues through visual elements in multimedia formats. |
| English | Learners develop applied and critical literacy skills in English. Applied literacy means using reading and writing purposefully and contextually; critical literacy means analyzing, questioning, evaluating, and responding to texts. | Learners can interact with texts meaningfully, employ precise language to communicate ideas, and critically analyze information to make informed responses. |
| Science | Focus is on understanding key concepts in the quarter, performing scientific inquiry, applying scientific knowledge, and demonstrating scientific attitudes and values — building learners’ scientific and environmental literacy. | Learners apply inquiry skills (e.g., observing, questioning, investigating), demonstrate scientific understanding, exhibit curiosity and responsible stewardship, and solve practical problems scientifically at the end of the quarter. |
| Makabansa (Music & Arts) | Learners understand cultural identity, traditions, and local music and arts processes. They explore how these influence creative decisions and expressions in their own works. | Learners create and improvise artistic works that reflect their cultural and regional identity using local music and arts practices. |
| GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct) | Learners internalize basic social values, etiquette, and respectful behavior toward others; values education focuses on building ethical foundations and dispositions. | Learners demonstrate socially appropriate behaviors, display respect and courtesy in different settings, and apply ethical principles in interactions with others. |
