How many days are there in a week?

So, can you tell me what are the days of the week?

(Write the days of the week in order and let the pupils read them twice.)

2. Motivation

B. Developmental Activities

1. Presentation
 I will read you a story about a Grade 1 pupil named Allan. Listen as I read the story.

After the end of classes on March, Allan was excited because next month, he will go to
Manila to spend his vacation at his cousin’s place. When the month of April came, he went to
Manila. There, he visits his cousin John. John take him to the park and they also played at the
playgrounds there. They also shop at the mall. He did not notice that it is already the end of
April and he has to go home.
He went back home on May. He was so excited and he can’t wait to tell his friends what
he experienced during his vacation in Manila.
(after reading, ask the pupils)
Who was the Grade one pupil in the story?
When did their classes ended?
What did he do after their classes ended?
When did he went to Manila?
When did he went back home?

2. Posing a Problem
In the story, Allan was excited after classes because he will go for a vacation next month
after the end of classes. So what month would Allan go for a vacation?

3. Discussion
In the story, Allan’s classes ended on March then he went to Manila on April then stayed
there for one month so he went home on May. (write the month on the board)

What other months do we have?

Can you give one?

(Using flash cards of months and calendar show to the class the name of months that they
give.)

How many months do we have in all? How many months are there in a year? Let us count.

Let us arrange the months of the year in the right order. ( Let the pupils arrange the
months in a pocket chart while asking them specific celebrations to guide them to arrange
the months in the right order. Ask questions which relate to their individual experiences. )

(Show a calendar)
This is a calendar, this is where we see the dates and months in a year. What do we call
this again? What did you observe? How do we use a calendar?

4. Group Activity
 (Divide the class into 3 groups.)
Now class, I will group you into 3. We will have a group activity. But first, what should we
do if we will have a group activity? What are the standards in doing group activity?

(Each group will have a set of flash cards with the twelve months. In 10 minutes, they will
arrange the cards of months in order.)
(Checking of the work of each group)

5. Generalization
There are twelve months in a year.
The first month is January.
The twelve months are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August,
September, October, November, December.

6. Individual Activity
