The Department of Education is now moving full speed with the Matatag Curriculum as it prepares to roll out Grade 2 next. This updated version of the K to 12 Program aims to simplify learning by cutting down the number of competencies. With the opening of School Year 2025–2026 just around the corner, it’s time to get ready for these changes. Teachers should start updating and organizing their Matatag Daily Lesson Logs (DLL) for Grade 2, Quarter 3.
Please note that the Department of Education uses a different DLL layout aligned with the Matatag Curriculum. On this page, you will find our ready-made collection of Daily Lesson Logs (DLL) for Grade 2, Quarter 3 of School Year 2025–2026 based on Matatag. The first week covers November 3–7, 2025.
The Daily Lesson Log (DLL) is a vital tool for implementing an effective learning process. This log details the flow of classroom activities and outlines the competencies that need to be achieved. It also consists of new sections, such as the Pre-Lesson, Lesson Proper, and Post-Lesson. These new sections simplify the old version of the DLL, which many teachers previously found difficult to understand. The DLL emphasizes classroom activities as the primary method of delivering the teaching-learning process. Additionally, this document serves as a testament to a teacher’s creativity and professional skills.
Overview of the Grade 2 Matatag Curriculum
The Department of Education (DepEd) will fully implement the Grade 2 Matatag Curriculum in School Year 2025–2026 as part of its effort to establish more targeted learning standards in basic education. It will shift the focus from broader basic learning skills to foundational skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic.
This curriculum builds upon the groundwork laid in Grade 1 by introducing Filipino and English as separate subjects, whereas Grade 1 combined them under a single subject called Language. This aims to further develop learners’ proficiency in both languages. The curriculum also reduces the number of subjects from seven to five, removing MAPEH and Mother Tongue as separate subjects.
Therefore, Grade 2 now focuses more on minimizing the number of competencies, as evidenced by the removal of two subjects. The curriculum removed Mother Tongue as a separate subject, but it still plays a pivotal role in the learning process. Educators still recommend using it as the medium of instruction in the early grade levels. Teachers actively use the learners’ mother tongue to explain lessons, especially when students struggle with English or Filipino.
On the other hand, MAPEH (Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health) has also been removed from Grade 2. Some of its competencies have been integrated into the five remaining subjects. Particularly, it emerged in GMRC (Good Manners and Right Conduct) and Makabansa.
Outline of Grade 2 Competencies in Quarter 3 DLL
The Grade 2 Matatag Curriculum focuses on strengthening the foundational learning skills introduced in the previous level. Nevertheless, the competencies for the five (5) Grade 2 subjects are outlined in our prepared Matatag Curriculum Guide. Although we are unable to list all the competencies in detail due to certain limitations, you can refer to the content and performance standards below to gain insights into the expected learning outcomes for Grade 2 pupils.
Learning Standards of Quarter 3
| Subject Area | Content Standard (Quarter 3) | Performance Standard (Quarter 3) |
|---|---|---|
