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 2025-2026 school year. This includes stocking up on school supplies for their students!

Did you know that many teachers pay for the 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 out of their own pockets.

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!

    First year teacher in a Prek – 4’s class in a Title 1 school. Moved into a classroom with very little supplies. Don’t even have tape on the tape dispenser. I would love any and all help to “clear the list” and work on building a great learning environment for these little ones!

    Hi! My name is Christine and I am a second grade teacher. I have had the privilege of being a teacher for 34 years and love it today as much as I did when I first began. There is no where better to spend a days work that in a classroom filled with enthusiasm, community, learning and discovery! I would be so honored to have support for my classroom. I generally purchase the bulk of my materials and equipment personally, so this is such an amazing idea! There is nothing better than community kindness and support! My Amazon wishlist link is:

    Hello! This is my third year teaching, second year for 3-4th graders. My student population is severe and profound disabilities in Morris County, NJ. Everything on my list is to support student position changes and adaptations needed for them to access the NJ standards for educational learning. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This will be my 5th year teaching! I am teaching 2nd grade in a Title 1 school, meaning most students are impoverished or come from low-income families. This means they don’t usually provide their own school supplies, and it lands on the teacher to provide! Last year I spent almost $1,000 of my own money to purchase school supplies, materials, and hands-on learning activities for my students. Please help me provide for my students this year!

    Hi! While I have been teaching 28 years, there are always needs for refreshing and replacing well loved classroom materials. I also will have the privilege of working with a student with a severe vision impairment this year and could use help in supporting her needs. Thank you for considering us. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/MT6JRUYPY2RV?ref_=wl_share

    My name is Amy Nichols and I am the AVID teacher at Mesquite High School. Mesquite High School is a Title I school do not have the supplies they need to start the school year off or complete school projects. Every single item on this list is to help support my AVID students by providing the materials they need to complete projects, personalize their AVID binders, inspire them to work hard so they can go to their REACH school, and be a safe space for them at school so they can feel wanted and loved. Thank you for helping support the Skeeter AVID students reach their goal of attending their REACH SCHOOL one day! These kiddos are going to change the world!

    Hi! I retired two years ago and never in a million years thought I’d be back in a classroom full time, but you know what they say: NEVER SAY NEVER! When I retired after 32 years, I gave everything away to students and teachers. I am hoping to turn my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade ELA classroom into a magical enchanted forest of literacy. I believe a well-thought out, inviting environment makes a huge difference. My students and I thank you in advance!

    I can’t believe it is already time to get ready for my 2nd year of teaching! This year I’ll be starting at a new school and a new grade level. I’m so excited to see what this new adventure brings. My goal is to make my classroom an inviting space for students to learn. If you are interested in helping me make that happen I have linked my Amazon wishlist below. Any donations will be greatly appreciated! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/NQ0XEIJQLISA?ref_=wl_share

    Hey everyone! This is my 14th year teaching at a Title I school outside of Boston. The majority of my students are EL in which their predominate language is Spanish. Please consider donating to my second grade classroom and help to provide my students with learning experiences that will last them a lifetime. <3

    I’m entering my 19th year of teaching and am excited that 10 (all of my 1st graders) of 21 students are looping with me from my 1st/2nd grade combination class last year. I’ll teach a class of wonderful 2nd graders who I hope to inspire and create curiosity to continue or ignite their love of learning. Our county budget was cut again this year and was given $75 to purchase items for my classroom. Off my wishlist, construction paper or cardstock are my most wanted items. I’m thankful and grateful for any items you are able to help with.
    Here’s my Amazon wishlist link:

    I am a disabled veteran and a 2nd year self-contained Special Education Teacher. I work at Title I school in Lawton, Oklahoma. Anything will be greatly appreciated. It does not have to be on my list if you think my self-contained Autism students would enjoy and benefit from the donation.
