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!

    This will be my 2nd full year in 5th grade in Illinois. They are a fun age that want to be grown up but still love the “kid stuff.” I appreciate you looking at my list to help make my classroom a fun and enjoyable learning environment. I appreciate any help that you are willing and able to give. You are all amazing!

    Hello, my name is Abigail and I am about to begin my 5th year of teaching. I am starting at a new school, and will be teaching both 7th and 8th grade science. Many of the items needed in my classroom are ones to support myself and students, from organization, and learning materials to incentives to continue to provide students a positive learning environment. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!

    Hello! I am a 2nd year LBD teacher. Currently, my content area is English and I will be serving our 6th grade. I work at a middle school in Jessamine County, KENTUCKY. We serve a wide range of students. (Title 1, SPED)

    I am hoping to ensure that we have enough resources for ALL students to be successful throughout their classes and my classroom.
    We strive for a fun, collaborative and welcoming environment. My kiddos also know I don’t love germs (haha). We appreciate this platform and are excited to see what fun things we receive through the special hearts of our community.

    Thank you in advance and god bless all of our educators.

    I teach special education in a categorical program. I’m switching districts and going from secondary to elementary this year. We are starting a new program in a Title 1 building that has never had this type of program before. Any and all support is very much appreciated!

    Hi, thanks for doing this.

    I’m moving to a new school and need to start new as a lot of my items were damaged or missing from a medical leave end of this last school year. Here is a link to my wishlist: Mrs. Layton’s Bates MS Classroom Wishlist – Amazon Gift List – https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/2YAV08A96ZEUP

    Any and all will help – I don’t expect everything or anything, but even the smallest help will be of great benefit and greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    I’ve been blessed for 30 years to do what I love, teaching children with disabilities and neurodivergent students. I have never felt the need to ask for help in acquiring my school supplies. My students are resilient, strong, intelligent, and perseverant. They deserve nothing but the best. Times have changed. I am currently without a contract and just can’t do it this year!
    Please don’t feel any pressure to donate!! Maybe just sharing my list will be the help I need.
    So I’ve made an Amazon wishlist for my classroom this year to #clearthelist its Prime Day and many things are on sale.
    Just know my students and I appreciate it all. You would not believe the smile these teenagers (They are still kids!) get when they get a scratch and sniff sticker or are comfortable to ask me for a snack because they are hungry and don’t have. A “prize” for some is recognition of positivity they may not get anywhere else.
    Thank you!
    Any questions please feel free to message me ❤️

    It’s hard to imagine that within just two weeks, I will start up school again. For the last five years, I’ve spent in different elementary classrooms. This upcoming year I’m moving to middle school science. There’s still a few things on my list that I would love to get off my list ranging 8 dollars and up! Middle school here I come!
