Procedures Mrs. Perry Grade 5

WHY DO WE HAVE PROCEDURES? A procedure is the way that we do things. To do things right, we have to follow some simple procedures, for example: To cook a delicious meal, you need to follow the steps in the recipe. To place a call on your phone, you need to input the numbers in the right order. You will find that to be successful in learning, you also need to follow some simple procedures.
