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!

    Any donations would be so appreciated. I’m a middle school teacher working to finish renovating my room, replenish student supplies, and most importantly collect needed resources to perform small group math instruction to meet the needs of all of my learners.

    This will be my 13th year teaching. 12 of those years have been in special Ed, and the last 3 (and entering 4th year) of being a self contained autism teacher. I work with behaviors as well as academics and sensory needs. Most of my students are non verbal. Any help with clearing my list is 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.

    Hey hey hey! I am a 5th grade teacher in Virginia who works at a Title One school. I’ve been doing this for 20 years and I absolutely love it. Are there some hard days? Absolutely! Are there some amazingly awesome days? You bet! Even on my worst day, I couldn’t imagine giving this up and doing something else. I love making connections and bonds with my families. There truly is no greater feeling than seeing a child work hard to achieve their goal.
    I would love any support you could give my classroom this year. It would mean the world to me!

    My school is a small school in a rural area. We are blessed with some classroom funds, but it’s not enough to do everything we need. This year I hope to make my room more like a home and a more inviting space for my students. Any help is greatly appreciated 🥰

    Hi Mrs. Hickman here, nice to meet you. I teach fourth grade over on the eastern side of Washington state at a title 1 school. The school year is about to start, and this year I am creating a flexible seating “home away from home” in my classroom. If you would like to help make this possible, our classroom family would be incredibly grateful! Your support will help create a more comfortable and engaging learning environment for my students. Thank you so much for your generosity and kindness! Feel free to share if you know someone who may want to help ❤️

    I teach 5th grade in Rock Valley, Iowa. Our entire K-12 school had 2 feet of flood water in every classroom and space just a few weeks ago. We don’t know where and when school will start up again for the approximately 900 students in our district in northwest Iowa. They are working as fast as they can to clean and repair the building. This list is the personal items that teachers lost in the flooding. Many of the teachers also lost their homes or had considerable damage done to their homes. Please consider helping. Here is the list: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2UNT2281TLWHF?ref_=wl_share&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR2PQT37ww2phj7CQCLnsNtkxDH738yh8OTCtEa4f3QruedeAsuYhYF-_j0_aem_OGfTlq6hQvxzIiERuTcN1g

I strive to make my classroom a safe and comfortable environment for all of my students. This is my first time making a list but I’m entering into my 5th year as an educator. Any support is greatly appreciated.

    I’m a 3rd grade teacher at a small inner city school in a low income area. My school doesn’t have a school library so my students rely on my classroom library. Any support is greatly appreciated to help make the year more fun and engaging for my students! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3F2ZXUDAQ3THK?ref_=wl_share

    Hi everyone,

    I am returning to teaching after a five-year break due to raising my youngest child (COVID and military deployment.) I am excited to start this new chapter as a kindergarten teacher at Discovery Elementary, where many of my students come from low-income families and are English as a second language learners and refugees. The school district does not ask for school supplies to reduce the financial strain on their families.

    I would greatly appreciate any help clearing my Amazon wish list as I prepare my classroom for these wonderful students. Your support will make a significant difference in their education.

    Hi there! I am entering into my 18th year as a teacher and I’m finally moving down to my dream year of 3rd grade. I would really appreciate getting to update some of my classroom decor and kid friendly supplies/incentives to help with throughout the year. I appreciate any donations!
