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

While school may be getting out for summer, Teachers are already working to prepare their classrooms for the new 2024-2025 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 pockets? Yes, it’s true! Classroom supplies are not cheap and some school districts & 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 fulfilling their supply lists!

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week which is the perfect time to help support teachers with the Clear The List movement! ❤️

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. Even better, 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 your list! 🙌

    My husband is an educator, going into his 14th year teaching at a Deaf institution. His room theme is Minds under Constructions. We also have 2 kids that attends elementary school so their wish list is added to the list. There is also this momma’s wish list to keep everything sanitizied daily when they come home from schools. We all thank you!

    Hello All! Every year I see fellow teachers post an Amazon Classroom Wish List. I have never made a list or asked from anyone. In the past, I have just relied on the school budget and my out of pocket budget to purchase items to enhance my classroom for my students. Unfortunately, every year the budget gets tighter, classroom sizes bigger, less teachers, and less supports. While the student’s academic AND social/emotional needs are high. I’m a 4th Grade Special Education Teacher in NJ. I I service special education students in two different classrooms through out the year. I am involved with about 50 students each year. My students needs go beyond academics, just as importantly some have social, emotional, and financial needs. This year I needed to ask for help. I need to revamp, add, and create better tools for my students to meet their needs, goals, and feel safe, loved and good about themselves. My focus this year is to find creative ways to meet my student’s needs not only academically, but just as important, socially/emotionally through supplemental resources, incentives, BOOKS and classroom enhancements. Also, being a special education teacher, I’m also in need of tools such as fidgets, wiggle bands, HIGH INTEREST leveled books/readers and tools that help with fine and gross motor difficulties and academic difficulties. If you would like to buy an item or two to go towards my classroom, here is the link! I would TRULY appreciate it. Everything helps! I have big plans for these kiddos this year, and am thankful for any help I can get to achieve them ❤️❤️
