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!

    I am happy to announce I am headed into my 4th year of teaching High School English and my 2nd year of Theatre and Forensics! I am so excited for this upcoming year. There are many much needed items on my list that would truly help me provide the best environment and education for my students! There are also items that I would love to have that are truly just a “wish”. Please consider helping me, THANK YOU!

    I am heading into my 7th year of teaching after staying home with my kiddo for 5 years! New school, new grade, new environment post Covid and most of my teaching items have become obsolete or not applicable.

    Welcome to our Amazon wishlist for Mrs Richardson’s choir class! As we strive to cultivate the next generation of talented vocalists, my school is 78% economically disadvantaged and we need your help to provide our students with the tools and resources they need to thrive. Your generous contributions will directly impact our students by enhancing their learning experience and fostering their love for music. Every item on this list has been carefully selected to enhance our choir program and make a positive impact on our students’ musical journey.

    Hello! I have two items under $10 and one around $10. It would give my students a more welcoming classroom to return to this year. I have taught Special Ed for 10 years and this is now my 3rd year teaching ESL, in a Title 1 school. Thank you!

    all! I will be teaching sixth-grade English (language arts; not ESOL) for the first time starting in the Fall, at a Middle School. I anticipate that I will be teaching between 125 – 150 students at the largest middle school in the district.
    An astounding 68% of the students are economically disadvantaged, so I plan to provide them with as many basic tools they will need to excel in my class as I can and to make a mini-library in our classroom in an effort to raise their relatively low reading levels compared to other schools. My own mother was illiterate, so one of my main missions in life is to share my love of reading with students.
    I have invested over $450.70 of my own money in teaching materials, so far. I plan to take advantage of the Prime Day Discounts that are starting at Midnight. FYI: you can claim up to $300 deduction on your taxes for charitable donations, which I will be taking advantage of!
    There is still a lot left on my Teacher Wishlist and I would appreciate additional assistance with the enormous expense (please see: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KQD8AR05POZD?ref_=wl_share(https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KQD8AR05POZD?ref_=wl_share)). You will find there an explanation of why each item is needed or wanted in the comments and a designated a lowest- highest priority level.
    Alternately, I created two Projects on Donors Choose. Right now, they will DOUBLE YOUR DONATION with the code Liftoff (please see my Teacher Page here: https://www.donorschoose.org/crystal-genduso. Thank you for your kind consideration! I look forward to teaching your children in the Fall!

    I’m Melissa Wood, and I teach young students who have special needs such as autism, down syndrome, fragile X syndrome, and others. I teach in a low income school, and I want to give them the absolute best! Any support you may offer is welcomed and appreciated more than I can adequately express! Thank you!
