I have created a gmail account for each grade. To access it, go to the Google home page and click mail. Fill in the username and password in the top right hand corner.
usernames = ctgradethree, ctgradefour, and ctgradefive
I have emailed the passwords to you through tel.
When you get to the inbox, you will see that the messages about comments seeking approval have the blog name of the writer of the comment. If we make sure that the kids use firstname initialoflastname (Hugh C) as their blog name, you should be able to identify the kids from your class while maintaining a reasonable level of anonymity for the students.
Inside the body of the email you have the choice to reject or publish the comment. After you publish it you have to log in to blogger (do so as yourself). I hope that this is not necessary after each approval.
There is also the opportunity to reply to the writer of the comment. I have yet to explore this but it would seem to offer a way of giving feedback and avoiding the loss of a rejected comment. Presumably the reply would go to the writer's TEL inbox.
Please add any extra information, questions, solutions about moderating comments as comments to this post.
