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! 🙌

    As I prepare for the upcoming school year, I am reaching out to ask for your support. I teach 4th grade at a Title 1 school in Arizona, and your help in making sure I have the necessary supplies would mean the world to me and my students.

    I am a second-year teacher looping into third grade. I am scared! I work in a Title 1 high-poverty school. My kiddos do not bring school supplies. The families simply cannot afford them. I would appreciate any help!

    Hi all, I am going into my second year of teaching K-5 special education – Resource. I am excited to be back at my same school again this year and really would love to get some new items to support my students with from my Amazon list. Thank you for the consideration and support!

    I’ll be starting my 10th year, 2nd year in 3rd grade. Last year I started with a new district, after being in the same room for 8 years. I’ve basically started over and really could help getting my room the way I like it. Last year I started school with sick kids and had to throw my room together. I truly appreciate any help to any of my items on my list. Having two young ones of my own, it’s hard having extra money to spend making my classroom what I want it to be for my students.

    Hi! I teach second grade and this will be my 14th year teaching. I love teaching and helping my students, and making my classroom feel like a “second home”. I was needing some things to help make it another great year! Thank you so much for your support-I appreciate it so much!

    1st year homeschool co-op teacher here! Had to pull my daughter from school last year after she was being bullied and was choked by another student. She kept telling us nobody liked her and begged to not go back. I am currently feeling all the emotions… excited for this new journey, anxious I’ll not be doing enough or doing too much.. please give me all the must haves, necessities and your best advice! I am so excited to help other children like mine who were bullied or have disabilities that hinder them in a public school setting to thrive! 🫶 https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/2FYVZGXHIC1QZ

    After 21 years at one school, I am starting over at a new campus. Much of my materials were old, worn out, outdated, and had to be thrown out. Fresh materials can capture students’ interest and engagement better than outdated ones. Interactive and visually appealing resources can make learning more enjoyable and effective. I am asking for your assistance in helping me capture and nurture my students love of learning. Thank you in advance for all your support.

    I am beginning my second year teaching 5th grade! My first year, as I’m sure most can agree, was TOUGH! I would like to be more prepared and ready to take on this second year. I am so grateful for all the support I have been seeing for teachers all around!!! Anything helps, me and my kiddos thank you in advance! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/362WU69CRXS16?ref_=wl_share

    Thank you for considering a donation to my classroom. Two days after returning from maternity leave last year, my schedule was unexpectedly changed to teaching physics. This coming year will be my first full year as a full time physics teacher, teaching four different levels of physics. All donations to either my Amazon wish list or Donors Choose account would be greatly appreciated by my students. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity!

    Hi, 3rd Year PreK Teacher. I really enjoy working and teaching the fundamentals for children at the tender age of 4. Emotional Learning is so important, and I want to teach me students restorative practices to deal with challenges they will face in this world. Please consider my classroom wish list.

    I teach 1st grade in a low in come (Title 1) school and I end up buying most of my supplies, games, snacks, etc. for my students each year and spend anywhere from $500-$1000.00.
    I love my students as if they’re my own and would do anything for them, so that is why I do not mind. I want to give them the best school experience they can have, on top of giving them the best gift of learning how to read. With your help I know that is possible. Thank you for your kindness & generosity! Much love-Lindi

    I am going into my 20th year of teaching, but this will be my second at the Area Learning Center. Our school is under funded and we do not receive the same resources as the other high schools in our district. The main goal for my students is to graduate. They come to school hungry, but also lost, not knowing how to be a successful student. I am trying to create an environment where they know I am with them, not against them.
