Narrative:

We made our initial call up to the tower informing them we were inbound from the north for a touch and go. Tower cleared us for a straight in approach for runway 13 and to report a 3 mile final. We began to line up with the runway extended centerline for runway 13 about 5 miles out and continued the descent inbound. I became so engrossed in the teaching situation; and teaching the new student pilot how to land; that I forgot to report the 3 mile final as instructed by the ATC controller. We continued the approach down; and landed not realizing until the rollout that we had not received a clearance to land. I queried tower to verify that we had been cleared for the touch and go; when the controller reminded me that I had 'not been cleared for anything.' I promptly apologized and he gave us permission to continue the touch and go and we remained in the pattern for one circuit and proceeded with the second landing (receiving a clearance this time) and ended the flight. After post-flight; I called tower to apologize for the mistake once again. What I quickly learned from this experience; as a novice flight instructor is that when in the airport environment; I must maintain enhanced situational awareness especially while training a student.
