Proper Stopping With Manual?

Ok. This is a very very low level question. I recently learned how to drive a manual and I'm not good at all right now. Actually, I'm pretty bad. My first question is how to properly downshift to a stop.

This is what I currently do starting from 5th gear and say 45mph

1. Switch into neatral
2. Clutch pedal back up
3. Brake the rest of the way
4. Come to a stop

Are you supposed to always downshift one gear at a time, brake at each gear until you hit 2nd when you can then shift into neutral and come to a complete stop?
