Whether its going to be a new grade, a new school, a new teacher or even a new house which means you became a long island resident the 1st day of school can be quite stressful.

 All the questions about new classes, new teachers, new friends and new school can be quite overwhelming.

Just remember to buy your supplies ahead of time, so you don't suffer from having the supplies you need sold out.

Also there is another thing you can you try to send your kids to sleep early a week ahead so that back to school morning you and your kids don't have a hard time waking up earlier than you were used to.

If you are new to the school district make sure you introduce your self to the teachers and make them feel comfortable of telling you anything about your child in the future.

One important thing is to buy your kids the necessary tools for example in gym, make sure you buy them the correct type of jean even if they aren't the most stylish ones. Comfort and Support is better than fashion sometimes.

Also make sure you have a set up time for homework, a time when you are comfortable to check your kids backpack  and know how they are doing in school.

And also make sure you remember that your kids are your responsibility don't expect the teachers to raise your child for you. Remember that everything starts at home.

Labor Day weekend has become one of the most anticipated long weekends between New Yorkers. It marks not only a paid day off celebrating how hard they work but it also marks the last weekend of the summer and the weekend before the kids go back to school.

Labor Day weekend has many festivities and activities that you can enjoy with your family before the holidays.

Labor day weekends is also estimated to bring good economy for the state as per other ones too, this year AAA estimates that many New Yorkers will leave the state just for the simple reason gas is cheaper than last year.

We have put together a bunch of activities and places where you can go and enjoy.

Richmond County Fair – Staten Island

The best part is that all the fun is free with admission. In advance: $15; at the door: $16; free for children under 30 inches

West Indian American Day Carnival and Children’s Parade – Crown Heights
