First things first, why should you create a Teacher Wish List on Amazon? Well, it’s a fantastic way to let people know what supplies or materials you need for your classroom. Plus, it’s super convenient for your friends, family, or even your students’ parents to support you by gifting items directly from your list.

Now, let me show you how it’s done. It’s easy, I promise!

To begin, go to the Amazon website and sign in to your account. If you don’t have an account yet, don’t worry. Just click on the “Create your Amazon account” button and follow the simple instructions.

Step 2: Find the Wish List button

After signing in, you’ll see a navigation bar at the top of the page. Look for the “Account & Lists” button and click on it. A drop-down menu will appear, and from there, select “Your Lists” followed by “Create a List.”

Step 3: Choose a name for your list

Now it’s time to give your Wish List a catchy name that reflects your teaching style or maybe the specific needs of your classroom. Get creative and have fun with it! Once you’ve chosen a name, type it in and click on the “Create a List” button.

Step 4: Add items to your list

Here comes the fun part! Search for the products you need by using the search bar on the Amazon website. When you find an item you want, click on it and then click on the yellow “Add to List” button. You can add as many items as you like.

Step 5: Share your list

Once you’ve added all the items you need, it’s time to share your Wish List with others so they can find it and support you. Click on the “Send list to others” button, and you’ll have the option to send the list via email or social media. You can also generate a unique link to share with others.

Step 6: Keep your list updated

Remember to regularly check and update your Wish List, especially if you receive items from it. It’s important to let others know which items have been fulfilled to avoid duplication.

That’s it! You’ve created your very own Amazon Teacher Wish List. Now you can sit back and wait for your community to lend a helping hand and make your classroom even more amazing.

Happy teaching!

Hey there! With Amazon Wishlist, I want to tell you how you can easily create a list of items you’d like to have. And guess what? You can even share it with others, so when they buy you a gift, they’ll know exactly what to get. How cool is that?

Let me give you an example. Imagine your birthday is just around the corner, and your awesome coworkers want to get you a present. They can check out your wish list and decide which item to buy. They might even decide to pool their resources and get you that fancy piece of tech that you wouldn’t dare buy yourself. Either way, you’re definitely getting something you really want for your birthday.

But wait, there’s more! Teachers have also discovered the greatness of wish lists. They found it to be a fantastic way to guide parents who want to donate to their child’s class. This way, not a single penny will go to waste, and it’s guaranteed to be put to good use. How awesome is that?

Time to Set Up Your Wish List

Setting up a wish list is a breeze. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Go to Amazon.
2. Sign in to your personal account.
3. Hover your mouse over the “Accounts & Lists” option in the top right corner, just under your name.
4. Click on “Create a List” on the left side of the hover menu.
5. In the “This list is for” drop-down menu, choose “You”.
6. Select “Wish List” as the list type.
7. Type in the name of your list. Make sure it’s intuitive for the parents who will be sharing your list. For example, you can use something like “Mrs. Lane’s Class”.
8. In the “Privacy” section, make sure you set the wish list to “Public”. This way, other people can access it.
9. The “Recipient Name” should include your name.
10. Once everything is set up, click the “Create List” button in the bottom right corner.

Voila! Your Amazon wish list is created. At the beginning, it will be empty, so you’ll need to start adding all the wonderful items you need.

Time to Add Items to Your Wish List

Now that you’ve set up your wish list, it’s time to fill it with items.

1. Use the Amazon search to find the products you’d like to add to your wish list.

3. On the right side of the page, you’ll see the “Add to List” drop-down menu.
4. Click the arrow button of the menu.
5. Choose the wish list you created earlier, as mentioned in the previous section.

And just like that, you’ve added your first item to your list. Keep going and add all the supplies you need for your class.

When you’re finished, it’s time to see what your wish list looks like.

1. Hover your mouse over the “Accounts & Lists” option in the top right corner.
2. In the “Your Lists” section of the hover menu, you should find the name of your class supplies wish list. Simply click on it.
3. Now you’re on the wish list page, where you can see all the items you’ve just added. Super cool, right?

If you want to sort your items by relevance, price, priority, or any other criteria, just drag the left edge of the item card up or down. It’s that easy!

By the way, did you know that you can also access your class wish list by using the “Your Lists” option in the “Your Account” section? It’s on the right side of the hover menu. This option takes you to a screen where you can find all your lists, including the one you just created.

Additional Info for Parents

Hey there! Right next to the “Move” and “Delete” choices on the right side of an item in the list, you’ll find the “Add comment, quantity & priority” link. Just click on it to provide more details for each item.

Now, in this menu, you’ll see a place where you can jot down any important info for parents when they want to buy the item. For example, you can mention what the item is for, like “For the school play” or anything else you think might be helpful.

In this menu, there’s also a “Priority” drop-down menu with five different levels, ranging from Lowest to Highest. And next to the priority, there are two more fields called “Quantity” and “Has”. The “Quantity” field tells you how many of that particular item you need, while the “Has” field tells you how many you already have.

After you’re done adding these details, just click on “Save” at the bottom left corner of the menu to go back to the wish list. Amazon will conveniently display all the details right next to each item in your list.

Sharing the Wish List with Parents

Once your Amazon wish list is all set with everything you need to enhance your classes, it’s time to share it with the parents.

On the upper right side of your wish list’s page, you’ll find the “Send list to others” option. When you click on it, a little menu will pop up. In this menu, you can choose whether you want the parents to just view the list or if they can also make edits to it.

Once you’ve made your choice, two links will appear: “Copy Link” and “Invite by email”. If you decide to copy the link, you can paste it wherever you want, like in a dedicated Viber group for the class’ parents. If you choose to invite parents by email, clicking on it will take you to your email account to compose a new email message.
