Well, you could ask or "insist" that she has a desk by herself. This may sound isolating, but my son had the same problem, and he loved it when the teacher gave him his own table, set off a bit from the rest of the class. I think it freed him from distractions and temptations, and it made him feel "special". He did this in 2nd and 3rd also. He's just not one who could sit in a group.

My dd was set apart in 6th grade, and when her teacher went to move her back, she asked to be set apart. She knew how hard is was not to be tempted to talk, and she got more work done if she was away from the other kids!
