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!

    I’m going into my 10th year in public education this fall! I’ve taught Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, and I’ve been a K-5 Literacy Instructional Coach. This year I am heading back to the classroom and to a new grade level – Pre-K! I’m super excited to be working with our littlest learners and I’m looking to fill my classroom with open-ended materials that will support their research (PLAY!), grow their language & literacy, and provide opportunities for practicing their fine motor skills.

    The needs of students is ever evolving and the classroom materials need to evolve as well. It is my goal every year to meet my students emotional development as well as their academic development. This year I am working in a Title 1 school with students who have a lot of needs both academically and socially. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated as well as sharing this #amazonwishlist 💙 I am so thankful for your help so I can try to be the best teacher for my future students.

    Hello! I will be starting my 18th year of teaching in San Antonio texas. This year I will be split between two campuses, both are title one. My new campus basically has nothing. It really needs new paint brushes, Clay tools, Glazes for clay, Paper, And classroom decorations, so that it feels like a home. I’m basically starting over at one school. Anything purchased would go to both campuses and would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for thinking of the teachers as we head back to school and are trying to make our rooms extra special for our new group of students.

    I am a Kindergarten teacher in NJ. I am trying to spruce up my centers and my read aloud selection.
