What is “Clear the List”? It’s a nationwide movement to support teachers by purchasing items for their school supply lists.

School will be back in session soon (some districts start in just a couple of weeks!) and teachers are already working hard to prepare their classrooms for the new 2024-2025 school year. This includes stocking up on school supplies for their students!

Did you know that many teachers pay for a majority of classroom supplies out of their own pockets? Yes, it’s true! Classroom supplies are not cheap and many school districts and families are struggling. This leaves many teachers to pay for school supplies themselves.

Teachers always go the extra mile for their students, so let’s show them how much we appreciate them by giving back and helping to fulfill their supply lists!

You can help by donating items from teachers’ Amazon shopping lists!

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

Even better, if you post your list on social media and tag Amazon with #clearthelist, you may find that your list is cleared BY Amazon! So cool!

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

  • Head over to Amazon and hover over Account & List at the top. Select ‘Create a List’ from the drop-down menu and name your list.
  • Hover over the three dots More menu on the right, and click Manage List to update your shipping address (this is important!) and other preferences like 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 for products on Amazon 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.

If you’re a teacher, be sure to share your teacher list in the comments below so that readers can help clear the list! 🙌


Plus, treat yourself to something special with these teacher discounts!

    Thank you for helping teachers! I am a 5th grade inclusion teaching in NJ. This is my 15th year teaching and it will be a different experience this year because we are going back to k-5 models in our schools. We are all moving to different buildings so essentially starting from scratch with all of our layouts/decorations. We are a title 1 school building so a lot of our population needs help getting the basic supplies such as crayons, markers, pencils, etc. Any donations you can contribute to the classroom is greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

    Hi! I am actually entering my 3rd year as a school nurse and would love to make my clinic more welcoming and colorful! My budget is already tight with medical supplies and doesn’t leave much room for health-centered decorations.

    Hello all,
    I was a Kindergarten teacher last year and had to leave most of my supplies behind once the school closed.

    I got hired as a TK teacher two weeks ago and received some donations from mothers in my neighborhood. I thought I’d make this wishlist and try looking for places to reach out too.

    Hello and thank you for reading! I am an 18 year veteran teacher who, due to budget cuts and a large reduction in force (RIFs), has been moved from 8th grade Social Studies to a 4th grade classroom – big change! I am hoping to create a soothing, comfortable and inclusive classroom for my students, and would appreciate any support you could provide in getting started. Thank you! 🙂

    Hi there!

    I am starting my 6th year of teaching and my first year teaching life skills! I will be teaching my special education class many different skills that they will use throughout their lives over the course of the school year and the years to come. Since I am teaching high school, I will have these students for a few years.

    Below is my wish list and I appreciate anything you would like to gift towards my kiddos!

    Thank you so much!
