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!

    This is my first year as a teacher, and I am very excited to teach third grade. As you know being a first year, you have a lot of expenses. My classroom is empty and ready to be filled with materials for this year. I will greatly appreciate the help. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1KUF3L1BX41D0?ref_=wl_share

    I’m a 7th grade teacher at a title 1school in Florida. I receive very few donations and I try to supply what I can on a limited budget. Any donations are greatly appreciated to help my students be successful. Thank you!

    I’m starting a new adventure this year – middle school (7th ELA)! After 12 years in HS, 6 years at home with my daughter, and 3 in elementary, I’ll be teaching big kids again at a high needs/Title 1 middle school. Anything would be a blessing to me and these students!

    Being a special education teacher is both challenging and deeply rewarding. It requires immense patience, adaptability, and emotional resilience to support students with diverse needs. Despite the hurdles, the joy of witnessing a student’s progress and growth makes it all worthwhile. However, many educators, including myself, often use personal funds to provide necessary classroom materials. Clearing my Amazon wishlist would not only alleviate this financial burden but also ensure my students have the resources they need for a successful school year.

    I’m putting together an Amazon wish list to help support our classroom! I love teaching and am always looking for new ways to engage students, build a space they love coming to each day, and help them grow both academically and socially. Every little contribution helps make our classroom a more joyful and enriching place—thank you for your support!

    Hello My name is Maggie and this is my 10th year educating young minds 🧠. My classroom is a multicultural classroom full of energetic Prek 4/5 year olds. We also have students with IEPS and students who mainstream from special education so they can be with me full time. Our school is a title 1 school with majority receiving free or reduced lunch. I was hoping you’d be able to help clear my wishlist. Any little thing can help! 🤗 Thank you! <3

    Hi!

    This upcoming school year marks my 19th year as an educator—and my third consecutive year teaching a new grade or subject due to district budget cuts. This year, I’ll be teaching 6th Social Studies, which truly feels like coming home. It’s the subject I’m most passionate about, and I’m excited to bring it to life for my students.

    With this wishlist, my goal is to transform my windowless classroom into a more open, welcoming, and calming space. I hope to create a cozy reading and quiet nook where students can enjoy a good book or take a much-needed mental break during the day. I’ve also added various artifacts and resources to help make our Social Studies curriculum more hands-on, engaging, and relevant.
    Most importantly, I want every student who enters my classroom to feel seen, valued, and included. I strive to make it a space that celebrates diversity and sends a clear message: all are welcome here.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to read and (hopefully) support our classroom!
