Aloha and welcome to Mr. Blackburn's First Grade class. Here's a little about me:

First off, I love my job! I genuinely enjoy being a teacher and I appreciate the opportunity to play a small role in helping these kids on their journey through their education. This 2021/2022 school year will be my 11th year teaching first grade at Waikoloa Elementary. Every year has been amazing in so many different ways, and I expect this year to be amazing as well. I have a wife and two kids who are my everything. We love playing at the beach, going hiking or other outdoor adventures. I enjoy running, yep, like actually "enjoy" it haha. I do most of my running around the village, but as often as I can, I love running the amazing trails we have on this beautiful island. Now you can tell your first grader that you know something about their teacher!

I really look forward to working with my new first graders this year. We will make the best of whatever this year brings our way. Mahalo for your support and an especially big Mahalo for all that you do for your child.
Mr. Blackburn

Here is the latest update on our canoe reading race. Only a few days left to finish this race. Will all the teams make it back to Anaeho'omalu Bay? Who will get there first? Read!!

I'm sorry this took me a little while to get to, but we had a fantastic field trip to Dolphin Quest a week and a half ago! Scroll down for some pictures. A big mahalo to all of our chaperones, who not only accompanied us, but shuttled the students to and from Dolphin Quest. The water time was short, but we had a blast! Thank again!

Ho'olaulea

I forgot to post this last night. When the first graders perform, each class will be spread out and facing a different direction. Mr. Blackburn's class will be facing southwest from the field. For best viewing, I would recommend watching from the sidewalk area between building G and the middle school portable buildings (From our classroom, go down the sidewalk left of the swingset).
