Help Teachers #ClearTheList!

With back to school season upon us, thousands of teachers across the country are working to prepare their classrooms for the new school year and this typically means stocking up on school supplies.

Did you know that many teachers pay for a majority of classroom supplies out of their own pocket? Yes, it’s true! Classroom supplies are not cheap and some school districts struggle, leaving many teachers to pay for school supplies on their own.

YOU can help by joining the #ClearTheList movement!

This movement was started by a school teacher earlier this month in the form of a Facebook group called “Support A Teacher – Teacher Gifting“. This group provides a place for school teachers and professionals to share their Classroom Wish Lists so that generous donors across the worlds can fulfill the item(s) on these lists.

Just choose a teacher in need, click on their wish list and start shopping!

Teachers and educational professionals can head over to Amazon, create a classroom wish list and then share their lists publicly. Even better, anyone can ‘donate’ items that are on the list and after making a donation, donors can even leave a note or message letting the teacher know how much they are appreciated. So awesome!

Teachers, follow these steps to make your own classroom wish list on Amazon:

  • Head over over to Amazon and hover over Account & List at the top of any Amazon.com page. Select ‘Create a List’ from the drop-down menu.
  • Choose the Wish list and whether you want the list to be private or public. You can also designate whether your list is for an organization and if so, you’ll have the option to provide the website address of the organization.
  • Click ‘Save’ and then you can start adding items to your list!
  • To add items to your wish list, simply browse Amazon for products and then click ‘Add to List’ under the Buy box on the right-hand side of any item’s product detail page.
  • Only list owners can make changes through Manage List. Both list owners and collaborators will be able to add and remove items.

Teachers do so much for our kids so let’s help them out in any way we can!

    Hi everyone! I am the school social worker at a high needs, low socioeconomic Title 1 elementary school in Florida. Many of our students do not get adequate food at home, so I always make sure to have food and snacks for them in my room. Also, one of my goals for this year to create a “calm down corner” in my room. I have already purchased the rug and play tent, but would like to add sensory items that my kids can utilize when needed. Thank you!

    5th grade teacher in NC switching to a new school and new grade level to work at the school our (almost) adopted daughter will attend for Kindergarten! We are so excited!

    I haven’t received any gifts yet, but I’m hopeful that it will happen! #clearthelist Thank you so much for your support and bringing attention to the teacher funded classroom. As my own children get older and need school supplies, it makes it difficult to spend hundreds of dollars on my classroom and provide my students with their supplies, too. I am a third grade teacher in a high poverty area. Anything would be appreciated, but individual student whiteboards are a top priority- they would be so helpful for math instruction. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1FISRGJDDJ79T?ref_=wl_share

    Kindergarten teacher, switching to first or second for the upcoming school year. The school that I currently work at does not permit us to do classroom wish lists, so thank you H2S for letting me share on here (can’t on social media).

    Thank you so much for spreading this movement! I have been blown away to see it take off and how many people are willing to support teachers and complete strangers at that! It’s helped me feel like my job really is valued. ❤️❤️

    Thank you so much for spreading the word about this movement! I work in an inner city low income school and we do not get very much funding at all to help for supplies in our classroom.

    Also I have a Donors Choose project and I only need $150 dollars for my project to be funded to help bring technology into my classroom. All donations are being matched by The Yellow Chair Foundation. Every share and little bit helps my students. Thank you for your support !

    Thank you guys so much for doing this! I’ve been teaching in a low income rural school for 10 years, and every year it is up to me to make sure my kids have what they need. I have a 2 and 3 year old at home, so it is a stretch every year, but I want my kids to have all they need to be successful. Every little bit will help, and I would be most grateful! Thank you in advance!
