The Daily Lesson Log is a standardised template used by teachers in the Philippines to plan and organise their daily classroom instruction. In this DLL for Quarter 4 of Grade 4, teachers can plan their classroom activities for each lesson part based on the Matatag Curriculum. Usually, the standardised 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 Grade 4 Matatag Curriculum helps students move from basic learning skills to more advanced classroom lessons. 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 prioritises 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 4. You should choose the best classroom activities and write their objectives and processes in your Daily Lesson Logs.
