NTI Day 1- Gym

Students will participate in daily warm-ups that are geared toward the 5 Components of Health as well as various non-locomotor and locomotor skills. Before starting, students should locate and determine their pulse rate… 3rd-5th only. Locate your pulse, have a parent time for 10 seconds as you count the number of beats you feel in 10 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by 6 to determine your current pulse rate per minute. Afterwards, begin the daily warmup checklist. Every stretch or activity for 10 seconds. Start with stretches ( feet together down, right over left, left over right, feet apart reach down to the floor, quad stretch right, quad stretch left, 10 sit-ups, 10 pushups, 3 10 second double arm planks, jog in place, high knees in place, run in place.

After the checklist is complete, predict whether your pulse rate will be higher or lower than when you first started. Try to explain to your parents why your answer is what it is. Locate your pulse rate the same way you did earlier and determine your pulse rate per minute. Congratulations, you got a nice, quick workout today!!!!!!!!!!!!Lets Goooooo!!!!!!!!

Call the FRC at 625-6093 or email me at [email protected] if you are not able to come during these times and need to schedule an appointment. .

No forms will be sent home, so please make plans to come in as soon as possible. If you are unable to come to the school and would like to request a home visit to complete the application, please contact the FRC as soon as possible.

**Please remember that completing an application for referral does not guarantee that your family will receive assistance, it only gets you on the referral list.

**If you sign up through the FRC, please do not sign up for assistance through any Church or other organization. Doing so will result in the removal of your family from the FRC referral list.

If you have middle and high school students, you will be referred to another location that serves children up to age 18 or the FRC will take care of elementary and younger students and you will be referred to the middle and/ or high school for your children grades 6-12.

IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY! Please understand that when you come to sign up you may be referred to the Salvation Army Angel Tree or to a Church that is sponsoring families, and this may require you to go to their location and complete their application. You will also need to take the documentation and paperwork that they require. If this is not acceptable to you, please do not sign up through the FRC.

To save time, please bring the following information with you when you come to sign up:

‘Twas the night before school and all through our town,
The Kingston Trojans were winding down.

Backpacks were packed by the front door with care,
In hopes that a great school year soon would be there.

Lunchboxes ready, new shoes by the bed,
Excitement (and nerves) danced in each little head.

With teachers all ready and classrooms just right,
Tomorrow will start with joy shining bright!

We can’t wait to see your smiling faces—
Ready to learn and explore new places!

So sleep well tonight, tomorrow’s the day—
Let’s charge into this year the Trojan way! 💙💛
