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!

    As a school admin office support/business staff, the name is rarely included in teacher discounts and promotions, so we don’t, or at least think we don’t, get to particiate in teacher discounts and promotions but we are as excited as teachers are, and as parents, for the beginning of a fresh new school year! Thank you so much for including administrative staffs in this awesome opportunity!!!

    I work at a Title 1 school where 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. Many of our families face food insecurity and buying student supplies is not at the top of their list. Any and all help is so greatly appreciated! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/37FCY4L7XRMNC?ref_=wl_share

    My daughter in law and I both work in Preschool Special Education with children ages 3-5. Special Education preschool needs are often overlooked and are so varied. Having classes where children’s cognitive age spans several years often means having several similar activities at varied skill levels. Where a typical class may need one item to be shared by all children of similar levels, a special education class may need 5 or 6 of the same type of activity based on cognitive level to assure that all children can access the activity and have a similar educational experience.

    Middle School Math & Science Teacher here. Our classroom is always full of Buffalo Bills fans so we try to gear some math towards sports, especially football! Multiplying by 7 is easy when you are watching the Bills score. Help bring the extras so our special education students can regulate their sensory systems while engaging in learning. Thanks so much for helping us SCORE! We will KICK the year off right. Go Bills! ❤️💙🏈

    Starting a new school year at a brand new school is both exciting and nerve-wracking, filled with the promise of new friendships and opportunities. As I navigate this fresh chapter, I’m hopeful that I’ll receive some of the items from my wish list to make the transition smoother and more enjoyable. With a bit of luck, these supplies will help me feel more prepared and confident as I dive into my teaching and activities.

    What an exciting opportunity for all of us teachers?!! I’m making a big jump this year, going from 17 years of high school teaching down to 6th grade Science. Not only is this going to seem like my first year back in the classroom, but my first day will also be after the kids have started and have never been to my room!

    This is my second year teaching PreK at my school and I’m still trying to build up my classroom for my kids. I only get enough money from my school for paper and paint. Everything else comes out of pocket. Please consider helping me and thank you! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/17DKB8DVC3F31?ref_=wl_share

    Hi there!! I am going into my 4th year teaching amazing 4th Grade Special Education students. Each year my case load grows with the number of students I have, and the amount of love and learning that happens in my classroom. Each student in my classroom has different ways of learning and it’s my job to make sure they have the tools and resources they need to have a successful, safe, and positive learning experience. I appreciate your time of checking out my wishlist, and any donations to my students and my classroom are beyond appreciated and loved. Thank you for supporting me, my kiddos, and my classroom!

    I am a high school teacher and planning to instill an attitude of gratitude in my students this year. I think we can all use a little more gratitude and less complaining these days. In order to facilitate this yearlong lesson, I need to get journals for each of my 85 students. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    This would be sooooo amazing! I really want to start a ‘care closet’ in my class, as I see every student at much school every week as the music teacher. Being I am at a Totle 1 school, a care closet would somewhere kids could pop in discretely to grab items to meet their basic needs.

    Here is the link for my art room wishlist if you’re still accepting. Like many people have already stated, I teach at a Title 1 school. The items listed are so that the budget we have can go towards art supplies and the list items towards general classroom supplies.

    I am going back into the classroom after my position was cut. I have been out of the classroom for over 6 years and had to start over again because I gave all my stuff away teachers who needed it. Would appreciate any help you can give me since starting over isn’t easy.

    I am a K-4 elementary counselor. Since COVID we have seen a huge increase of support needed to help kids with their social-emotional development. I am wanting to add to my resources to better support students and teachers and help meet the needs across all grade levels.
