The Challenges:
Blastin' and Relaxin' - Kill 180 enemies in any game mode in Reach. - 2343cR
Pretty simplistic challenge today that should not cause you too much grief as long as you pick the right gametypes and playlists. This one, asking you to score a hundred and eighty kills in Reach today is a pretty simplistic challenge. I would expect it to take you only a few games as all of these kills do not need to be in multiplayer Matchmaking. After you have finished the other challenges for today, hop into the Score Attack playlist and hit up either 2X Score Attack of Gruntpocalypse for easy completion of this challenge.

Came From Behind - Perform 2 Assassinations in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 2200cR
You will actually want to focus on this challenge after obtaining your multikills as it will make life easier. I would expect this challenge to take slightly longer as well. Now, an assassination is initiated when you are behind an opposing player and you hold the melee button up close. The animation needs to generally complete for the kill to count as an assassination. Assassinations in the air or on inclines go way faster than ones on flat ground. Scoring two is not overly hard, but can be if you are in the wrong playlist. I have found that the best playlist for this challenge is Team Snipers. In this playlist, people lose focus and are very easy flank. You simply need two assassination in a single game, but this make take one or two tries.

The Dream Shake - Earn 4 Double Kills in the same match in multiplayer Matchmaking. - 4000cR
So, if you have already scanned ahead, you have likely already seen that this challenge, asking for four Double Kills in the same match, and "Fourth Horseman," asking you to get four multikills in a single game, are basically the same challenge for our purposes. Now, a multikill is when you score multiple kills within four second of each other. You can stack that up to nine multikills. A Double Kill is the first level of this system and is just two kills within four seconds of each other. The best way to get a bunch of these, easily, is in the Grifball playlist. Vanilla Grifball is the best gametype for these purposes so just hammer away but remember your timing. You want multi kills, not just mass kills. You might need to hold off between some kills to make sure you get the four Double Kills, but this is over all pretty easy. Expect this challenge to take a single game to complete.

Fourth Horseman - Earn 4 multikills in a multiplayer Matchmaking game. - 3500cR
See "The Dream Shake" as these are practically the same challenge. You will get them in the same game, likely without any trouble.
