In 2000, abcteach entered the Internet world as a free educational website for teachers. Our site is the brainchild of Sandy Kemsley, a Michigan elementary school teacher who was retiring after 26 years in the class. abcteach seemed the perfect way for Sandy to continue communicating her love of teaching and wealth of educational knowledge. Little did she know that her "little website" would evolve into the global educational resource that abcteach has become.
