The week numbers are this repository’s proposal, not DepEd’s. A school’s approved Budget of Work replaces every one of them. The competency text and the quarter it belongs to are the guide’s own.

The performance task sits in each term’s end-of-term block rather than in a numbered week, so no week below is marked as one.
