I would also use your resources. Idk if your kid may be ADHD or just a normal little boy, but feel free to talk to your pediatric physician and see what he thinks or maybe do the testing stuff for adhd. I know there is a lot of overdiagnosis of adhd among young boys who are just growing up.
Also, he may be frustrated in school with the slow pace, which might be why he is acting out. I know accelerationlskipping a grade isn't always a solution, but if he is significantly above grade level, it might be the answer for him. IRRESPECTIVE of if you advance him a grade or not, you need to push his brain and expose him to more stuff than a "normal" kid. Doing fun at home science projects, going to the library, reading, doing "singapore math", reading this book together(https://www.amazon.com/What-Third-Grader-Needs-Revised/dp/0385336268), reading things like the hobbit for his bedtime stories.
Gifted kids should/deserve to be intellectually stimulated just like more average kids, but you have to put a little more effort in.
Also, idk about your district, but getting a full battery IQ test is useful for a few reasons. It may provide sort of evidence justifying his advancement a grade level, and it also might be helpful to you as a parent to see how smart he is roughly.
If he has an IQ of 130 vs 145 or 160, those things can all mean big differences on how much attention and how much acceleration would be appropriate. Also, a psychologist/your family physician will be helpful as well, but hoagies is great too, and has a lot more parents than reddit.
Some examples of flowcharts I have would be the interconnected factors which make up my vocational challenges. Another is the pattern I noticed I go through regarding my social needs (I titled it "the gifted shame-coping loop" and another, most recent, "the gifted mirroring-discernment loop"). Another flowchart I have is a map of my values and how they relate to each other. Sometimes I get discouraged because I can't quite make a visual of the pattern I recognize but want to. I mostly started making these flowcharts because it was much more efficient in communicating my challenges to new therapists or people who care to understand me.
I am wondering if glass boards are any good? Like this one, for example: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Visual-Direct-Frosted-Glass-Dry-Erase/dp/B004QWAOQ8/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2HG2280JLKCA9&keywords=glass+boards+for+wall&qid=1565414678&s=gateway&sprefix=glass+board%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-4
A couple of thoughts:
If I could go back in time and give myself something is the knowledge that Gifted people can be very different from the norm. Each person has different needs for a healthy life and it can be a challenge to those people who are not aware of those needs.
I think getting to know yourself at a young age and what Giftedness means could help you live a healthy life sooner rather than later.

Also, I read in another comment that you said your kiddo is emotionally intense. Here’s a book I read as I was trying to figure out how to help my child. I highly recommend it!!

My son had a lot of emotional excitability at that age. He just entered 4th grade and is doing much better. My thought is it's probably the asynchronous development of the brain. Have you read Emotional Intensity in Gifted Student? Helped us ALOT!

One of the most suggested books about giftedness is 5 Levels of Gifted by Deborah Ruf.
Anything by James Webb or James Delisle should be good too.
NAGC is a good resource.
I know this is late but I just found this sub. I would highly recommend this book. Get to know these strategies now, because from what you describe she will face many challenges with peers and teachers. https://www.amazon.com/Emotional-Intensity-Gifted-Students-Explosive-ebook/dp/B008XKBHRO
