The Challenges:
Shootin' and Lootin' - Kill 400 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 4000cR
Four-hundred enemies is a lot to go through and the other challenges today will not get you to that number. However, there is no requirement on what mode the kills needs to be achieved in. Once you have finished the other challenges for today, load up some games in the Score Attack since Firefight Matchmaking will be much better for getting kills. Play whatever you wish but expect it to take about three to four games, depending on how many kills you had before hand, to reach four-hundred kills.

Sweep the Leg - Perform an Assassination in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2000cR
To perform an Assassination on another player, you need to approach them from behind and then hold down whatever button you use for melee. Doing that should initiate an Assassination animation and, once it is complete, you will get credit for this challenge. Since you only need a single Assassination, you can pretty much do this in any playlist that you want and do not be afraid to take your time with this one since you do need four-hundred enemy kills today.

Close Talking - Earn 100 kills with close quarters combat in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 1500cR
Grifball, as usual, will be the easiest way for you to complete this challenge as it is one of the only gametypes where you are pretty much exclusively getting close quarters combat kills. A hundred is a lot to get but also come very fast in Grifball with thirty to forty kills being the norm and even seventy kills is not unheard of. Expect this challenge to take three to four games to complete. Now go get to hammering.

It was the Winter... - Complete Winter Contingency on Legendary without dying. - 3000cR
Like all the rest of the "without dying" campaign challenges, there is a trick to this one. Now, Winter Contingency is not a terribly difficult level, except for the Elites at the end, and your major issue will be how long it takes you to run through the level (a guide for doing so which can be seen right here). Now, the trick is that you can die as much as you want. What you will need to do is get to the last objective, while dying as much as you want, and then Save and Quit the game. You can Resume Campaign from there, complete the objective, and then get credit for completing the challenge without dying.
