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!

    It’s difficult getting and asking for assistance. On behalf of my students, we appreciate your consideration and generosity. This is my second year teaching second grade in a title 1 school in NJ. I’m hoping to increase engagement and functionality with my list. We need your help. Thanks again for looking. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3OJUYI1OOBBE8?ref_=wl_share

    Hi everyone! Hope you’re having a wonderful summer!

    My name is Taylor and I’ll be a first year kindergarten teacher in August! I’m so excited, but unfortunately, an injury has kept me out of work for 18+ months so I don’t have a lot of extra money to fill my classroom now. I would absolutely love some help getting supplies and educational materials as the start of school is getting closer.

    Any donation would be a huge blessing. I’m also working on the 50 States Challenge (don’t have anything checked off yet lol), so if you are able to make a donation, please don’t forget to let me know what state you’re in so my students will know how far support for our classroom has been sent!

    Thank you so much for considering my kindergarten classroom if you’re making donations and supporting the #clearthelist movement! If you can’t make a monetary donation, sharing the word about my wishlist would be incredibly helpful as well! I would greatly appreciate anything you can do to support my kindergarten kids and my first classroom! Thank you!

    Thank you for supporting educators! I teach 6th grade science, 6th-8th STEM, & robotics at a title 1 school in Wichita, KS. I will be going into my 8th year teaching.
