How're you doing on that? Who're you hoping can answer?
(I don't think that "what're, how're, and who're" are very common, however.)
(Not a teacher)
How about 're contractions with "how" and "why?" These are used in informal speech but I don't know if they are accepted in formal English.
Don't forget "these're a few of my favorite things..."
(I would never write that.)
