As the title suggests, the game is intended to teach a third grade curriculum. …Set in a retro-futuristic universe, the game concerns Polly Spark, the bratty daughter of an apparently very wealthy inventor, and her attempt to alter history so that her inane answers to a history quiz she failed will be correct. To do this, she sends twenty-five reprogrammed robots back in time and, with her father conveniently away on a business trip, she takes over Mystery Mountain, the literal "mountain mansion" where she and her father live.
JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Haunted Island was a personal computer game in Knowledge Adventure's JumpStart series of educational software intended, as the title indicates, to teach a fourth grade curriculum. This version of the game was retired from the line in 2000 and replaced with JumpStart Adventures 4th Grade: Sapphire Falls, presumably due to it being deemed too scary for an educational game. The plot, setting and characters of Sapphire Falls are completely unrelated to this game.
The hard-to-find and apparently award-winning upgrade to the original Preschool game. Which was then upgraded in horrific and unforgivable ways. I have yet to get this to work on a Mac beyond the start-up screen, but I can only assume there's a way, if 1st Grade 2000 works just fine. Attaching a Mac/PC Hybrid and a Mac only ISO, for safety.

Reading Blaster 2000 is a remake of Reading Blaster: Invasion of the Word Snatchers created by Davidson & Associates in 1996. The game was later resold as Reading Blaster: Ages 6–9 in 1998 and, under Knowledge Adventure, as Reading Blaster for 3rd Grade in 2000. It is part of the Blaster Learning System series. The game features a premise involving the characters depicted in previous Blaster products (Blasternaut, Galactic Commander and Spot) competing in a game show set in outer space.
The story and gameplay have an adventure theme. Kids can take the role of one of two characters, Jess or Zach. Each character has unique skills and qualities. They must put an end to global pollution while using math, science, biology, history, and other skills. Challenges to save the Earth include: protecting the water supply, protecting endangered animals, stopping the invading viro-bots, and catching the main antagonist A.R.T. (a computer with artificial intelligence that has gone haywire, and now wants to "redesign the chaotic system that is Earth").
