Back-to-School Teacher Wish List

Summer is flying by and I know teacher wish list making is in full force!

With Amazon Prime Day right around the corner (July 16-17!), I thought it would be perfect timing to collect and share Amazon wish lists from my Title 1 or first-year teacher readers who could use some help getting their classrooms ready.

I would love to focus specifically on the classroom wish list for teachers who don’t receive enough assistance from their district or PTA throughout the year. I know the needs these teachers are facing can be overwhelming and heartbreaking with items ranging from basic needs like underwear and laundry detergent to snacks, school supplies, holiday party items and so much more.

I am so proud and appreciative of this incredibly generous community and I know that together we can help make a huge impact this year for our teachers (students and parents)!

Now let’s help clear these wish list items for these incredible educators!

How do I create an Amazon teacher wish list?

If you need help creating your wish list in Amazon, here is a website with instructions for How to Set Up and Share an Amazon Classroom Wish List.

Do I have to include a mailing address in my Amazon teacher wish list?

Yes! Amazon will keep your address hidden for privacy, but it is required for us to get your items to you!

My teacher wish list isn’t ready yet. Can I still participate?

Please don’t leave a comment until your wish list is already created so it makes it easier for readers to donate. However, I will be sharing this post throughout the rest of summer to help teachers clear their list! So if your list isn’t ready yet, just post it back here when it is!

I know this is late, but I just found your amazing page! I have four new classes to teach this year at the high school level-- College Readiness English 11, College Readiness English 12, Creative Writing, and college-in-highschool Film Studies. I'm incredibly excited, but also over-extended and didn't get the opportunity to budget for this new courseload of mine. I'm hoping to continue to build my classroom and supports so that I can use the items requested for years to come. Many of the items on my list will foster confidence in my students through the writing process of these courses, whether analytical or creative, and will help my classroom to be more interactive so that we can work with words in a way that students will relate to and remember. Working with computers and books will always be part of the curriculum, but manipulatives and a variety of seating and writing choices greatly helps to engage and focus students who have high needs. Thank you so much for your support! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2BPSLQYWFZILG?ref_=wl_share
