Ms. Winkle

Ms. Winkle is Polly's schoolteacher in JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain, who speaks in a rather high-pitched voice & seems to get a bit over enthused about what she's teaching. She teaches in a Googie version of a traditional schoolhouse, which is located on a hill near Mystery Mountain. There, she uses a device called the TransQuizzer to record her tests. Ms. Winkle is apparently not married since Polly sometimes refers to her as "Miss Winkle," although "Ms. Winkle" is more commonly used.

Ms. Winkle's appearance is radically different in a screenshot used on the game's original box & in the user's guide than it is in the actual game. There she is depicted as a middle-aged Caucasian woman, whereas she is considerably younger & Black in the actual program. This has since been corrected on newer versions of the program's box.
