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!

    Please help me make this year in 3rd grade the best year for my students. Because of all that children have to deal with outside of school, I want them to need for nothing, to be comfortable, and bring fun back to learning in my classroom. Thank you in advance for all who donate. I truly appreciate it!

    I am a second-year preschool special education teacher and I work primarily with children who are developmentally behind or who have autism. We work on building foundational skills to help them learn how to play and build skills they don’t quite have yet. Thank you for helping. Any little bit helps!

    Thank you for your support! This will be my 8th year as a teacher and my 2nd year in 3rd grade.

    I’m thrilled to be teaching at Lakes Elementary as a first-year art teacher. My passion for art began in early childhood, where I dreamed of inspiring young minds through creativity and expression. I hold a Master of Science Degree in Child Education/Curriculum and Instruction. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education, both earned with a 4.0 GPA. I’m art certified from The Art Institute of Seattle. I’ve spent years studying techniques to bring a diverse and enriching experience to students. I’m dedicated to providing a supportive environment where every student can discover their unique artistic voice. I look forward to guiding students on their creative journeys and sharing my lifelong love of art.

    In my classroom you’ll find me teaching about and through music, with a sharp focus on empathy, equity, and a combination of accountability and grace. You’ll also see 27 years of items I’ve paid for out of pocket, as crowdfunding to support classrooms just wasn’t a thing when I started teaching in 1995.

    I teach in a Title 1 school in a high-poverty village. Any help you can lend is truly appreciated!

    Hello everyone,

    For this school year, I’ve created an Amazon wishlist with items that will greatly benefit my kindergarten classroom. If you’re able and willing to help, any contribution would be immensely appreciated!

    Thank you for supporting teachers! I have been working in my current position for 5 years. I teach at a Headstart school for low income children. Many of my children have been affected by trauma. It can sometimes be difficult and heartbreaking but I love my children. We teach school readiness and social emotional skills. I strive to make my classroom a safe comfortable space for learning and exploration. Your donations will give me the opportunity to provide my children with the support and materials they need to be successful.

    Here is my link! I am a first year teacher going into first grade. I am looping up with the class I did my student teaching with (a blessing I am so lucky to have!) I have an idea of what I have and what I need but going in with a blank canvas. This is an amazing gift for you to grant teachers! Even being able to look through the different lists for ideas is so helpful!
