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!

    This will be my 6th year teaching in an elementary significant disability program (primarily serving students with autism and Down syndrome). There are so many things that we buy to help make each of our students successful. Each of our students are assigned a color and they have many materials that align with that color such as a 1 inch binder for their schedule, folders for important information, pencil cases and so much more. Assigning each student a color helps them know what theirs is and also helps tremendously with organization. We use countless Velcro dots throughout the school year for so much. Above is my Amazon and target wishlist for this school year. Every purchase is so greatly appreciated by myself, students, my teaching partners, and paraprofessionals.
    Thank you so much🧩💙

    Hello, I’m A special education, preschool teacher, I teach the sweetest and most amazing little three and four-year-olds. It’s always a struggle to get supplies for our classroom as our budget just usually isn’t enough this year. Our district has decided to reduce our budget from $700 to $200 for supplies and all the things we need thought the year. We will have to lean on parents even more with such a low budget and we know that it’s hard for parents to donate when things are so expensive so I thought I would give this a try. Any help would be greatly appreciated..

    hello my name is Alicia Wilburn. i am venturing on to a new and exciting leg of my professional journey. I recently accepted a position as high school level EC adaptive teaching postion. I am both excited and nervous to begin this job. As you can imagine being a first year teacher means that i have a lot that i need to get to make my new classroom and class a sucessful enviroment. On this note i will be sharing a wish list i have compiled if you feel compelled to help out by buying something off it or even just by sharing it that is great. If not that is ok too. Lastly i realize some items may seem odd but i ensure you everything has a purpose. As a teacher in this job feild i have a great deal of flexability in what goes into my classroom and how everything is structured due to the fact that it is also a lifeskills class. Thank you all in advance for any help in anyway.
