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 looking forward to my 16th year teaching 2nd grade in Missouri. I’ve put together a wish list with some classroom essentials and fun items that will help make our year successful and engaging. If you’re able to contribute, it would mean the world to us. Thank you for your support and for helping my students and I grow and learn together!

    Hi!
    I am a teacher at a small independent school. I teach kindergarten and have for the past 7 years. This year my class size has grown and I am hoping to get some more materials for my students. Most of the things on my list are organizational or classroom type items. My most needed items are the clock(mine broke) and the test folders(so there is no peeking). Thank you to those who take the time to shop any list posted here! My link is below! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2EOB8FJE7G9ZK?ref_=wl_share

    This will be my 12th year as a Dallas ISD bilingual teacher. I currently work at Cesar Chavez Learning Center, a Title 1 School. This will be my second year to teach a self-contained 4th grade class (all core subjects). Our school theme this year is “Color Your World with Excellence.” Please help support me and my students as we embark upon an exciting, new school year!

    I am a PK teacher in a Title 1 school. Most of my littles don’t have books at home so I am trying to clear books off my wishlist to build up my classroom library so they are exposed to lot’s of different books at school. Any help would be greatly appreciated. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3GRBJ014LKTIK?ref_=wl_share

    I’m starting my 13th year teaching but my first year teaching reading in 5th grade 🙂 I’ve spent my career in Title One (economically fragile) schools and will continue this journey in the future. Thank you for making learning attainable for my students 🙂

    I am a 13 year veteran of teaching who is going back in to a classroom from library as my position was dissolved. I need assistance to help make my classroom warm and inviting. I will be in a room without windows and want my students to look forward to coming each day.

    My name is Aimee Golden and I am a school counselor for 2nd and 3rd graders. These are some items for my students and classroom. My school budget is not high and I often purchase items with my own money. Any help is greatly appreciated.
