Teachers in our Spanish for Educators community speak up and we love it! Following your suggestions about the vocabulary you need to master in the classroom, we have developed this lesson about communicating class schedules in Spanish including the “Specials” and class subjects. This lesson will help you address this topic correctly with your Spanish speaking students.

Las clases especiales – The “Specials”

The “Specials” are elective subjects taken in primary school, which are taught by specialized teachers to help students gain more specific knowledge about certain areas of interest.

Las clases especiales son clases electivas que se toman en primaria y las cuales son dictadas por profesores especializados para ayudar a los estudiantes a obtener conocimiento específico sobre ciertas áreas de interés.

A lot of these “Specials” are in fact cognados, so you can learn and use this vocabulary right away

Las Asignaturas – Primaria / Class Subjects – Primary

Now, let’s see an example of a schedule for a primary school student 🙂

For talking about the hours, from 8:00 AM to 11:59 AM you have to say: de la mañana
Example: 9:30 AM should be nueve y treinta (or nueve y media) de la mañana.

From 12:00 m to 12:59 m you should use: del mediodía.
Example: 12:30 m should be doce y treinta (or doce y media) del mediodía.

And, finally, from 1:00 PM to 6:59 PM you should say: de la tarde.
Example: 4:45 PM should be cuatro y cuarenta y cinco de la tarde.

Las asignaturas – Middle / High School

This is a good example of a schedule for a middle school student 🙂

Otras asignaturas – Other Subjects

Some other subjects your students could be taking this year.
