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!

    I am an Elementary Librarian in Boise, Idaho and I would be so grateful for some help clearing our Amazon Wish List. For every book purchased from our list, I will clear a lost book fine for a student in need so that they can continue checking out books.

    Thank you for this opportunity! I’m a second-year middle school teacher at a very small school and helping guide students during this season of life is the best! This year I’m moving into a windowless room, so I really want to provide some alternative light sources since we won’t have any natural light. I haven’t really had help clearing my list this year, so any help at all would be a huge blessing!

    Books! Books! Books!

    I am a 5th grade teacher with a goal to help my students love reading. I have created a comfortable reading space and am working on filling the bookshelves with every sort of book, with an emphasis on history.

    My wishlist is mostly books, with a few focus/anxiety type tools. Gently used books gladly accepted!

    I’m a 27-year veteran 6th grade Special Education teacher in Louisiana. I usually purchase everything my students need, but this year my budget is a little tight. I’ve created an Amazon wish list with essential classroom supplies. Any support—big or small—would truly help me give my students the tools they need for a successful school year. Thank you for your kindness! 💛

    Hello! I will be teaching 6th grade social studies for the first time after years in 6th grade ELA! I teach in a title 1 district in Texas. Some storms in June damaged our roof causing leaks and left a lot of my essentials a bit worse for wear. Help me rebuild my classroom and create a safe, welcoming, and engaging second home for my ~130 students!
