Message from the Teachers:

First grade at P.S. 209 is about helping our children build the solid foundation needed to become lifelong learners. Our first graders are immersed in every aspect of balanced literacy from daily phonics, shared reading and word work to guided and independent reading. The everyday Math program is designed to help students grasp math concepts pivotal to their future learning by relating them to everyday life.
All first grade teachers collaboratively create a nurturing environment in which all children including ELL, Special Education and high achieving students can not only meet but exceed curriculum standards and work to their highest potential.
