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!

    Thank you for supporting educators! I teach 6th grade science, 6th-8th STEM, & robotics at a title 1 school in Wichita, KS. I will be going into my 7th year teaching. I’m teaching a new class next year and dividing my time between two classrooms so I’m having to think of new and extra supplies I will need. Any help is appreciated! #ClearTheList #AdoptATeacher https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/12I8JESWU0VLG?ref_=wl_share

    This is my 2nd year teaching Special Education at the high school level. I would love to be able to surprise my students with things from my list! My main focus is getting their basic needs met while providing a calm, relaxing 😌 environment so they are engaged and ready to learn! Sometimes I feel as if high school students get over looked because it not always the fresh smell of crayons 🖍️ that they get at the beginning out the school year, but rather hormones and discovering where they belong on this big ol’ world. 🌎

    I am a School Counselor at an elementary school. I support the Social Emotional needs of over 700 students and purchase all my supplies. I also provide sensory items and snacks to any kids who need it. I am also in charge of the displays and bulletin boards to make all students feel welcome! If you are able to donate anything from my list, it will go a long way with helping my students feel safe and supported at school while learning how to handle their big feelings!

    Thank you so much for this opportunity. I cannot tell you how beneficial it is to teachers for even providing something as small as a box of pencils. Anything – big or small – counts as a step to happiness and success in the classroom.

    Previously, I have taught lower grades, but this year I will be working with a middle school grade band; 8:1:2 class. My students use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices and require significant sensory input, with a strong emphasis on Activities of Daily Living (ADL) skills. I am passionate about providing my students with the best possible support and would love to incorporate more sensory tools in my classroom to meet their sensory needs effectively.

    Any donation is much appreciated!
