Need proofreading for presentation tomorrow! Please its urgent!
I have a presentation tomorrow and I have to answer personal questions in Spanish. I added some pictures in my presentation and I wanted to change my sentences so that they correlate with the visuals on my slideshow. Can you guys please help me by checking for any errors (grammar/vocabulary) that they may have?
- Me levanto a las cinco de la mañana durante la semana porque yo tengo que estar lista para ir a la escuela.
What I'm trying to say: I wake up at 5 in the morning during the week because I have to get ready to leave for school.
- Cuando es el fin de semana, me levanto a las nueve de la mañana porque no hay escuela y puedo dormir más.
What I'm trying to say: When it is the weekend, I wake up at 9 in the morning because there is no school and I can sleep more.
- Yo prefiero levantarme temprano porque yo quiero hacer trabajo, comer desayuno, y no llegar tarde a la escuela.
What I'm trying to say: I prefer to wake up early because I want to do work, eat breakfast, and to not be late for school.
- Me acuesto a las once de la noche los fines de semana y duermo hasta el despertador me despierta.
What I'm trying to say: I go to sleep at 11:00 during the weekend and I sleep until the alarm clock wakes me up.
I am in Spanish 2, and we are learning Castilian. Thank you for your time!

Me levanto a las cinco de la mañana durante la semana porque (yo) tengo que estar lista para ir a la escuela.
En el fin de semana, me levanto a las nueve de la mañana porque no hay clase y puedo dormir más.
(Yo) prefiero levantarme temprano porque (yo) quiero hacer trabajo, desayunar, y no llegar tarde a la escuela.
Me acuesto a las once de la noche los fines de semana y duermo hasta queel despertador me despierte.
I am not a native speaker so I may have missed something. The only thing that sounds odd to me is the hacer trabajo, but it also sounds a little weird in English. If you mean homework, I would say hacer las tareas.
Also you can remove the yo when it is clear you are talking about yourself, which it is.
Good job!
To add to Zein´s answer:
In the first definitely remove "yo" because first person singular is already mentioned in the first clause (me levanto), so it sounds strange.
I think the second is OK as is, but to use Zein´s suggestion I would say Durante / Por rather than En and No hay clases in plural. I can´t imagine a school having just one class.
In the third, the first yo is OK if you need to emphasize, but the second yo should be deleted. Because you have used "quiero" it sounds strange to say later "no llegar tarde", so I would something like "evitar llegar tarde / evitar una llegada tarde."
In the fourth: me duermo.
