Behavioral intervention, kindergartener...Please read?

I am in graduate school for school psychology and am doing my school-based practicum right now.

I am beginning a consultation case with a kindergarten teacher who has a student that she's having behavioral issues with. He's 'melting down'/having 'fits'. His behavior consists of crying (to the point of being inconsolable), and hitting her at times and other students.

I am trying to help her feel less discourage and like she has no options. I also would like to avoid the school referring him since he's only in K.

He appears to have a 'lazy' eyelid which I need to double check on because when I asked the teacher if he had any vision problems because of it she said no. He also appears like he may have some fine motor issues (behind the others in his class). The students have morning seat work to do in the mornings which consists of coloring a picture and then on the back of the paper, copying sightwords (~18 of them). He apparently has issues daily completing this work on time. When he colors he does not use large strokes for large areas so he doesn't finish with the picture until much later than the other children. The teacher gives them probably 20 min or so to do this work , then she announces she is starting a timer for 20 minutes (giving them warnings about 3 times that time is almost up/how much time they have left).

I've observed him 3 times and he is inattentive to his work (he will color for ~2min and then stare off. At one point when he began writing his sightwords he began to write 'yes', but he drew the 'y' too far to the right and was not going to have room to complete the word without running into the line to the right of it. He immediately began crying and whining about how he did it wrong and that it was now ruined (the teacher says this is a constant issue, he will crumble up his paper or tear it and ask for a new one, which she refuses). He also has an issue with not being able to finish work. I observed him during an assignment where they were doing a word search and then they were asked to spell 'alphabet' (not a K word, but it was a 'challenge' just for fun) He was able to write 'a' in the time given and then the teacher asked the class to put their things away and he again began to cry because he hadn't finished. He also seems to get agitated physically (seems out of breath and stutters). The teacher came over, calmed him and allowed him to sound out the word and finish. Once he was supposed to put a book away and another child grabbed it and put it away so he hit him.

I will be suggesting to the teacher:

Giving him larger lines to write the sightwords on so that if he messes up, he will have room to start over (they are not allowed erasers for some reason in this class...the reason eludes me)

Sitting him next to the teacher when she is waiting for other students to turn in assignment so she can give him redirection often so he can finish faster

Using a crayon to 'section off' his drawing into numbered sections so he has a strategy for coloring in large areas quicker

Using a visual cue for time left for an assignment to remind him he needs to keep working

Sitting him away from other students who are finished and moving on to other tasks which can be distracting.

So, if you're still with me....I hope I've explained well what's going on and what I've suggested. if you have any more suggestions that I haven't thought of that'd be great! I really don't want this kiddo to have to be evaluated when he's just starting school and just needs a little help!
