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 2025-2026 school year. This includes stocking up on school supplies for their students!

Did you know that many teachers pay for the 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 out of their own pockets.

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!

    Hi! I’m an elementary school special education teacher in a Title I school that would love your help with clearing my Amazon wish list. I love my job and my students, but I would love it even more if I could provide them the materials and learning resources they need to feel comfortable, have fun, and be successful in school! Thanks in advance for considering to help me and my students.💚 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1L9JLIIAECGOR?ref_=wl_share

    As a first‑year preschool special education teacher, I’m building a classroom where every child can learn through play, connection, and sensory exploration. My students thrive with hands‑on materials like cause‑and‑effect toys, sensory tools, visuals, social‑emotional supports, and calming items. Any contribution helps create a space where each child feels safe, supported, and celebrated. Thank you for helping us grow.

  5. Julie Haufler

    Hello! I’m an American Lit teacher from beautiful East Texas! I would love my list cleared. High school teachers often don’t have fancy cutesy stuff on their lists and are often overlooked. I appreciate any blessings!

    I’m a high school Spanish teacher and would love any support you can provide!

    Hey y’all! I am entering year 14 of teaching and am completely starting over this year. I have been a content teacher and am now changing completely to CTE Pricincipals of Applied Engineering for grades 6-8. I have to pass 2 more certification tests this year while learning new curriculum X 3. Needless to say, I am both excited and nervous (happy nervous) about this new chapter. Any donations are immensely appreciated. I hope everyone has a blessed school year.

    Here is a heartfelt 100-word version:

    I am seeking support with classroom items because I want to create a welcoming, organized, and engaging learning environment for every student. Many of the materials I need will help students stay focused, practice important skills, and feel excited about learning each day. As a teacher, I often use my own money to provide supplies, incentives, storage, and hands-on learning tools. Support from others would help relieve that financial burden and allow me to give my students the resources they deserve. Every donated item will directly support student learning, classroom routines, and a positive space where children can feel successful and valued.

    I am a middle school teacher, 6/7/8, primary grade 7! Switching from primary 8 and ELA as main subject matter, to Grade 8 History/US Gov./Civics, Gr.6-7, World cultures and Ancient Civilizations! Also moving to a new classroom! Need JUST about EVERYTHING, but I’m so excited for this new adventure (I’m a History nerd, love it!)
    Thanks for checking out my list!

    I am a 6th year teacher at a small school in Iowa! I spent my first 5 years in my dream classroom teaching 7th and 8th grade ELA. I have been moved to 5th and 6th grade ELA this year, and to say I am scared would be an understatement! I have to update my whole classroom library and switch up some of my routines and systems! I also would like to try flexible seating this year! Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you in advance! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/CHZK65K9H7AK?ref_=wl_share

    Hello, I’m Mrs. Holiman. I’m a 7th year Kindergarten teacher at a Title1 school in Arkansas. This list is filled with items to help keep our classroom organized, support hands-on learning, and provide everyday items my little learners can use all year long. Every item, big or small, helps create a fun, engaging place where my kindergarten students can learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you so much for supporting our classroom! 🐆 GO LEOPARDS!

    I’m entering my 26th year of teaching first grade in the hill country town of Ingram, TX. We’re a Title I district with a strong sense of community, having been in the epicenter of the catastrophic flooding of the Guadalupe River a year ago. Thank you for helping my classroom family of tiny learners have the best year possible!

    Going into year 9 and heading (back) to 5th grade at a new school. I’ve spent the last few years working in a Title I school and will be starting at another one in the fall. Hoping to get a few extra supplies and some new books to ensure all of my student feel welcome and don’t have to worry about whether they have the supplies they need. 🫶 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1HFXJ9WAL25L4?ref_=wl_share
