Magenta, I worked in a preschool where we had a similar situation. I discussed it with the main teacher and suggested that the child might be bored, could we "differentiate" for them in class. We had good results with things like, at circle time when talking about the letter of the week, the child was asked a difficult question relating to the letter (which presidents' or states' names start or end with the letter, how many ways can this letter be pronounced) to work on, keeping the brain and body busy while the other kids were asked "does this animal start with this letter". Similar when talking about weather, colors, and so on. The rest of the day, suggested activities helped, daily responsibilities, redirecting before things deteriorated (this took a lot of attention) and partnering the child with another in the class who was close in abilities, mature, and kind of a leader. Of course, be careful what you wish for: that relationship grew into a "posse" of pals. It was good, but high energy! Hope this story helps.
