An instructor pilot reported a near miss at gfk after he and his student forgot that ATC would call ...

Narrative:

The student and I were conducting a go-around due to an unstabilized approach. I; the flight instructor; contacted tower and informed them we were conducting a go-around on runway 17L. Tower responded and stated 'go-around left side; I will call your crosswind' I replied; repeating the go-around positioning but I do not recall if I repeated the crosswind call. We continued to climb up to traffic pattern altitude. When we crossed over the runway threshold I continued my traffic scan and my student turned crosswind. At this point I spotted another aircraft entering downwind abeam the threshold of 35R. I took controls and initiated a climbing right turn while the other aircraft descended and turned right. I then stated to ATC that we had turned crosswind early. Tower then told us to follow the aircraft now in front of and below us. We then finished our traffic pattern safely; and finished our operations. A few brief moments of less than complete situational awareness on my part and the long downwind entry of the other aircraft put us in close proximity. I was so focused on teaching and scanning for traffic that I quickly forgot the crosswind call; a simple mistake; but a dangerous one. I should have realized that teaching should have been put aside during congested traffic pattern operations.
